nice thing about this stuff is if you dont like it or get bored of it, just simply tear it off...

it all depends what your wrapping and how much of a heat gun or hair dryer you use. fyi dont use to much heat.

roof was about an hour with cleaning prep and taking our time.

i also used painter tape on the rain channels to help protect from the razor blade while cutting.

Looks really good. There was a evo in super steet with Roof/trunk done. And had a Actual Carbon Hood. Could not tell the difference. Mine is on the way in about to knock out my Roof/Trunk along with a new paint jod, and wire tuck. Hopefully it turns out as nice as yours.
Tell you buddy to hook me up with some more 3m

Looks real good... I would like it to be glossy though...

Way to save over $1000

Plus the weight savings is only like ~7lbs for MR/RS's
