I guess you got it . It was easy right? Just gotta take your time and use enough water/soap as a lube. You can take the XM antenna out by going through the rear dome lights. Happy it went well. Post up some PIX!!!

i was sooo crazy about MY car that i forgot to take pictures of the other 2 waiting for my boy to send me pics. also install the ebay roof spoiler

I might be doing this over in a few months with the 3m di-noc CF... My car was the first we did and of course it didn't come out as perfect as the next 2. XM was in the way, didnt have the right tools. But hey, I'm still happy with it and if anyone is planning to do this and needs help, HIT ME UP!!

special thanks to TIMb227 for the vinyl!! it was more than enough and we had wasted like about 3ft. you were right!! once u get the white sheet wet, its DONE!! still couldn't understand why but hey... we manager to finish 3 cars and it was well worth it!! THANKS DUDE!!

It looks good. If you re-do it, def. take off the xm antenna and paint it, looks much better. I kept an extra sheet b/c I'll prob re-do mine, once I have the time. I'm actually even thinking about painting it now lol

a few week ago i was driving on the meadowbrook pkwy and was going under an over pass. All of a sudden i hear a loud **CLANK!** and im checking my sensors thinking it was a wheel or something but i was confused as hell... when i parked i looked around and was only focused on certain parts of the car... couple of days later im cleaning my car and notice 2 small dents on my roof by my sunroof.. idk what or how the hell that happened... to fix it, i have to paint my roof... smh... its not "bad" but i think a small dent will prevent me from doing this...i wouldve loved to..smh

Let me know. I know we talked a bit about me installing it. You would need a 4 x 5 piece and that is more then enough.

With taking off the weather stripping and such its easy to just cut and trim. I offer glossy black vinyl or 3M CF vinyl DI-NOC at the cheapest anywhere.

With installation the CF would be around $275, black vinyl would be $50 plus shipping.
