Getting my roof Vinyled

klipseracer · 04-04-2010, 02:02 AM

Called a shop. They quoted me $400 installed with their materials for my roof, shark fin and my door sills in Gloss black vinyl. Good deal?

I'm also getting 30% carbon tint on all 4 + rear window and 40% ceramic on my windshield for $300.

Lastly, I have an indy shop installing my H&R street perf coils for $600.

What do you think about these prices? The indy shop is supposed to do real good work.

+1, I've seen members on the board say they find places that do it for ~$200.. Should look around a bit more

Yeah, I just don't know who to trust in the phoenix area who will do them correctly and will be smart enough to know how to adjust the dampers and the height and remember the proper re-torquing specs.

I'd probably go to them anyway since you hear they do real good work

For $400 you can get your roof painted and not have to worry about peeling

The point of vinyl is the ability to reverse it. If/when I sell this car I don't want a black spot on the roof. re-painting over perfectly good OEM factory pain diminishes the value greatly IMO.

I got all my windows carbon tinted at 35% besides the front windshield for just under $200 and there has been no peels, bubbles whatsoever. There's also lifetime warranty if it does start to peel or bubble and they will redo that window

Whats your point?

You can get dyed tint for $100 for all your windows. $200 for high quality carbon tint is an OK deal, and a front windshield of ceramic usually costs ~$100 by it self.

I would go lighter on the windshield personally. I'm rumming 60% huper optics on the windshield and 35% the rest of the way around.
