That looks great
How much does it obstruct your view out of the sunroof?

Thanks

The first time I got in my car I freaked because I thought something was on top of my car, but I'm used to it now. I felt pretty sillly though.

My sunroof is tinted to limo tint, so I haven't been used to seeing much out of it to begin with. Plus, the graphic is in the middle of the entire sunroof (front and back) so you actually only see a little from the inside front seats.

Phoenix...that looks really cool

How much of the roof is vinyl....is it a full vinyl roof? It has a very accurate luster to it

Thanks for the comments.

Its a full vinyl sheet, graphic was done so as to produce the airbrush effect.

Its even better in the flesh (so to speak)

How does the "shiny-ness" of the vinyl match the paint on the car....is it close? So, if someone wanted to change the color of their roof, could they possibly use that method and have it be believable?

Again, i really dig it. The airbrush effect is spot on

The final finish matches the roof colour exactly, in fact you have to look really close to see where the vinyl finishes and the roof starts.
Not sure of the technical details but the design is printed, the sheet then has to de-gas for around 5 days, then there is a clear top coat that seals the graphic.
