I would do it. Infact, I was going to do it last year but backed out.

You should do it yourself (it doesn't cost as much). Therefore, if you don't like it, you can just peel it off. I want to do it myself too. I just can't find a local place to buy the vinyl

Heat gun is your friend. Mohammed did it himself. It came out really good. If you're ok with spending money, then do it. I like to do things myself cause it's cheaper

ya i just dont have alot of patience so i dont think im the right guy for this job.. Plus it is gonna be there getting the shadowline done to the chrome window trim to black it out so i might as well do it all then.. gonna be like 450 but oh well...

just spoke with my painter and im debating doing a satin finish on my car, same color but he would take the gloss off of it, it will be like the new BMW black that isnt shiny, not flat but not glossy.... I love owning my own business and doing trades!!!!

Not exactly satin, but I saw this E90 @ MFest and it looked great.

SCR Performance has a bunch of the carbon fiber vinyl for pretty cheap, I bought two sections about 2ft by 3ft and I think it cost around 25 bucks.

I would say do it! Might look great. And as Alfred said, you can always peel it off!

Some in our area has done the black vinyl roof with Intrigue before. If only I could remember his name.
