hey fobman, how much did they charge? do you have any close up pics of the install and did they do a good job? any bubbles etc?
spooling, I wanna have a two tone look to the car but don't wanna go overboard, so the best thing is to tape the roof black.

What body color did you order? It may look sharp with Taffeta White, but make sure the vinyl does not discolor or crack over time, otherwise it will look crappy.

paint it, it lasts longer, and with the vinyl it will fade over time
