Thanks!
Its no different than the type of product they use for Clear Bras and those can be removed. I had the same type of film on my lower valance wor 2 winters and removed it 2 days ago and you can't tell where it was.

Won't damage the paint. Removes easily with the use of a hair dryer or heat gun .. or outside in the sun.

would painting the roof in NBP cause problems with the radio/navi since the atenna is on the roof? Stupid question, but I figured I'd ask.

Let me know I can sell you the vinyl. Mine was all done in one piece, not seamed down the middle.

Trunk


Hood


I don't really have a close pic of the roof, but you can kinda see it in the pics.

It is flat black, but it comes in pretty much any color.

I made a pattern for the hood, but the rest is bulk film (actually a little larger than the areas that you would put them on) and you just trim it back. That way you have a little more room for error. Patterns could always be made, it wouldn't be that hard.

It shouldnt fade from what I've heard. The vinyl I use has UV protection.

What does the vinyl cost to cover the roof in one piece preferably? I've always wanted a black roof on my TL.
