    not sure if i missed them anywhere in the thread...but the first photos from the beginning of this thread....looks like a silver e39 in the back. does that have a wrap on the roof? if so...do you still have pics of it? thinking of doing it to mine.

    Clearing out some old pictures I have, before I move them to a different HD. First up is an E92 that I wrapped his roof with gloss black vinyl:





    Second up is a 7 series that I tinted the tails and front corner lights on with some smoke tint. I thought it went very well with the color of the car.

    What do you estimate it would cost in material to wrapped an entire 80s 911?

    toying with the idea of matte black.

    You're not going to be very happy trying to wrap those front fenders on the car and that huge roof to quarter panel to basicallyentirecar back half of a 911.

    Haven't read the entire thread but that "carbon fiber" is 3M Di-Noc. I can spot it a mile away lol! It's just embossed vinyl giving it the CF texture. I was at an Apple store the other day and there are phone covers available now wrapped with Di-Noc!

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/3M-DI-...r/250994630617

    I've done the trunk and hood of a car before when the only options were re-spray the bad clearcoat, $2,500 for both in real CF, or wrap with a single layer real CF for hundreds....so decided on trying the Di-Noc out and it worked out surprisingly well.

    I think it's only an option, I've seen them without CF on the roof...

    Been having the owner of this car telling me to post pictures of his car up, so I skipped ahead and did his pictures for him first

    Kind of a kill two requests in 1, as people have been asking me to take a bit more pictures at certain/various angles for them, so here you go to those who asked.

    Some more pictures of the 3M Carbon Fiber Di-Noc material that I used to vinyl wrap the roof of this E46 3 series.

    that e46 is actually kind of badass if you got rid of the eyelids and painted the kidneys black, I love the white wheels thing and the rear bumper isnt too bad.

    I've had people ask if I can vinyl wrap hard tops and just how flexible my vinyl is (for those who say it didn't stretch enough for their roofs)...

    Let me know if this answers your questions, and if you have any others

    Thanks. Sometimes some of the photos aren't the best, because I get a little lazy after finishing the cars to take pictures.

    What do you usually charge for interior pieces? I know it would vary based on size and over all difficulty, but I was just looking for rough estimates. Thanks.
