Well, after 3 failed attempts at hood vinyl installation I've finally encountered the FIRST mod I simply CANNOT do on my own.

Wanted to know if anyone here can install the vinyl OR recommend someone!

3G TL, ONLY 2/3 THE WIDTH OF THE HOOD

Roof - soooooo f00king easy, you'll have it done in 2, 3 hours tops. It gave me an insanely high false sense of ability when it came to the hood.

^whats so hard about the hood? i would think the roof would be harder than a hood since its higher up

The drop off on the front of the car changes at a VERY steep angle and creates a fuuuuuckload of creases.

Heat gun with some application liquid with the right tools it can be easy. Vinyl can be a pain in the ass.

thats why you buy the 3m stuff virtually no wrinkles..and any are easily removed..only thing is the dont offer glossy black at the moment..doing my hood in the spring...should be a piece of cake compared to the roof

It's not brother, seriously. The roof is so fucking easy by comparison. The hood looks remarkably simply because it's at a lower level, the front drop off is far more challenging then it appears.

Perhaps you have a different method or are just better at installing vinyl than I am...I found the roof to be a joke to do...I'm throwing in the towel for the hood. Either way, good luck my man!

is the vinyl you were working with a wet install....cause then i can see why it would be so hard....but the 3m is a dry install which makes it a lot easier.....but i guess ill find out come spring..lol

Hey not to thread jack or anything, would you be able to help me do a roof vinyl also? I'm in Brooklyn. Where can I get the 3M vinyl for a good price? Thanks!

And DM, I'm sure your skills will not fail you on the 4th attempt.
