Got it from: http://www.metrorestyling.com/. They are the only place that offers the various sizes but without steep prices. This is the vinyl I chose: http://www.metrorestyling.com/3M-Scotchprint-1080-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Wrap-p/3m1080-cf12.htm

Great job! I just got my gloss black vinyl wrap for my roof, I'm going to apply it on the weekend. I had a couple questions if you could help me out:

1: is there a way to remove the antenna without removing the headliner?
2: Did you use some sort of vinyl sealer on the edges of the vinyl (specifically in the grooves that are on the right and left side of the roof)

Thank You. As for the antenna, you actually don't have to completely remove the headliner, just remove both sun visors and slightly pull the headliner down, enough so you can reach it and unscrew it from inside. Then it just comes right off.
I used the 3M sealer on the corners, along the car where the molding and roof rails go, I just left a slack and then placed the rails/molding back over it. Make sure you apply sealer/primer along the front windshield. I must have missed that step and a few months later it started to peel, but luckily I was able to re glue it and tuck it back under the window seal.

Hope that helps.
Share the pics after you're done

Awesome, thanks! So I dont need to remove the center console area, where the map lights and sunglasses holder is located?

I'll order some 3m sealer right now, but I doubt I'll get it before the weekend (amazon doesnt seem to have it). Do you know if its available at Home Depot/Lowes etc?

I'll definitely put up some pics once I'm done with all my mods!

I don't recall removing the overhead console. As for the primer, I ordered mine on line, but you could check AutoZone or PepBoys

You shouldn't have to remove the overhead console to undo the nut that holding the antenna. You may need to remove the visor clips to give you more room to work with between the head. To remove the visor clip, just swing the visor out of the clip and then just grab and twist (counter clockwise or clockwise; whichever is easier) visor clip about.

If you want to remove the overhead console for whatever reason, you have to take the headliner down enough and undo the spring clip/washer-like that hold the overhead console to the headliner. I believe there about 6 clips holding it.

I didn't seal mine. Still perfect from day 1

Looks great! Was it hard to take off dome light?

I didn't remove mine, there was no need to remove the headliner or any of the interior roof components.
