GI: Black Roof Vinyl Overlay
 

I'm looking to see if there's any interest from people for the black roof overlay.
The vinyls that I sell will have the same 6yr outdoor durability as BlueBat's. My vinyls are even glossier than his which you can see in the following picture. BlueBat's vinyl is the one located at the top left corner while mine is to the right side. The bottom left corner is my moonroof.

Other than the glossier surface, my vinyl comes in ONE big piece instead of TWO pieces that BlueBat will send you which I personally find it to be harder for amateurs like myself to install and line up the two pieces correctly. No matter how close or how straight you line them up, they will always be two pieces with a ridge in between.
To my knowledge, the only "template" that BlueBat has made was for the 6th gen. I say template in quotation is because it is only an approximated outline which still needs to be refined and trimmed.
Furthermore, the ongoing price for BlueBat sedan roof vinyls is $80 a pop excluding shipping. My price is $55 shipped via UPS/FedEx with tracking. It will come in ONE piece 48"x60" which will cover all gens as far as I can tell. Be sure to measure first! If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to contact me!!

Here are some pictures of the vinyl installed on my car.

Please keep in mind that I had no previous experience in installing the vinyls and they came out great. It's a very straightforward process that takes a little bit of your time.

that is sexy, i might have to hit you up later on this week!

and is there a template for where the sunroof is already cut out?

def interested at this price!

I will take one right away!!!

I originally contacted BB and I havent gotten a product yet even after starting a post on the ORG about getting them for us.

I'm all game for one from you MONEY IN HAND,

Cool beans :) I know BlueBat is a very busy guy. I've contacted him numerous times and never gotten a response within a timely manner so I went to look on my own. Even though he's doing this as a side job thing, I still think he should have put more effort in. I am a firm believer in great customer service being the key to success in business, thus I will try my very best to be as helpful as I possibly can.

One thing I want to make clear is that fitting a 4th gen should not be a problem. I understand that the roof of the 4th gen isn't as "nice" as the 6th+ gen in terms of lines and shape, BUT since a few others have also gotten it installed on a 5th gen which is quite similar to the 4th gen roof, I really don't see much of a problem.

Lastly, I just want to repeat myself about my proposal. It will not come pre-cut because as far as I know, no pre-cut will fit 100% like a glove which means it will still need trimming thus defeating the purpose of pre-cut. So rather than sending you an overlay that MIGHT come short, I'll just send a big sheet so you can trim and tuck the excess to your liking. It is really not that hard to install it. The hardest part will probably be the 1-2hrs that you will have to devote to. Just grab a friend for an extra set of hands and the time can probably speed up to less than 1hr.

Please don't be shy if you have many questions. I will get back to you guys shortly on how and when it will go down. :)

this is sweet, i wish i could see a pic w/ a fourth gen

I HAVE A 7 TH GENERATION WILL IT FIT IF SO SEND ME A MESSAGE AND INSTRUCTIONS THANX

interested. it should fit my Altima.

you caught my attention with this. Ive been waiting for BlueBat for a while now

Me too. Any 4th gen game to do this?

Should fit without any problems. You got PM.

Yep and it would look sweet:)

BlueBat posted on some other forum addressing his absence was due to personal situations. Stuff happens sometimes.

I like the vibe that I'm getting. I'm thinking if everything goes well, I can have them out by early next week. Who here is a solid?

Im a maybe. I was thinking about painting my roof black but may go with this instead.

seriously?! at $55 shipped, i want one as soon as available. w/sunroof cutout :D

awesome!

Let Start the List @ 55 shipped
These are definite MONEY READY

1) KingJames

I am a definite. Just let me know where to send the money.

will this fit an 08 g35 sedan? is there a how to that you put together to see how what it takes to put it on before people buy? im interested in getting this for my brother's car.

im interested in this and will probably send get it after i finish the 00vi...ive been looking at doing this for a while

1) KingJames
2) DIESEL

just send me a PM when you want me to pay.

Can you cut one for me for an 07 Lexus GS350? It doesn't have to be a perfect fit as I know that trimming is needed, but would you be able to get one that would cover the roof line for me? Also, how do you work around the sharkfin Satellite radio antenna? Thanks.

I find this link to be very helpful and the instruction is quite clear. It will show you how to prep the surface and install the overlay.

A little update: I should be able to get my hands on the overlay tomorrow so I'll be picking the packing material today. It'll be a limited run of -5- right now, so if you want to get one, please PM me prior to paying because I want to insure you that your order won't be on backorder. It's a little pet peeve of mine to ship only what I have. :) So if you guys want to pay now so I can ship it out ASAP, you can PM for instruction.
Also please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!

I wish I could get access to a GS and trace an outline for you, but I don't have the luxury to do so.:(
The link that I posted should address your concern on how to install on roofs with fins or antennas.

I apologize if I can't be any more helpful.

Im a definite...

let me know when and where to send the money. i have paypal.

1) KingJames
2) DIESEL
3) nissandrvr98

can you post pics of the back pillars/posts? Id likew to see how the vinyl transitions from the door area to the back window.

Thread Jack: Flava is the Panda vinyl, in your avatar, on your car?? You need the PANDAMAX license plate

Ok it's now 100% ready to go!

KingJames, DIESEL, and nissandrvr98, you all got pm'ed :)

I regret not taking a picture prior to the removal because at one point I had my car de-modded thinking I would sell it. But the idea fell through so I'll probably install it back on later. I know the transition is a little weird, but it shouldn't be a problem if you take your time and mask the line out with some blue painter's tape.
You can look at Drunkie's pictures for reference.

Yes, its on the lower right hand corner of the windsheild.

LOL pedo-panda

Yup, I used PS to change up the Pedobear image and had a friend make me the decal afterwards.

just sent you payment OP. LMK when shipped.

thanks in advance

2 shipped! 3 to go :)

I have 2 more. Bump:)

I know it's still pretty early but can the additional folks who purchased and installed this overlay post pics?

i just got mine on sat and have done nothing more than open the tube. It was just too cool and windy to even try and attempt this. Hope this weekend is better.

Are these still availible? I wanted it either for my 06 Max or 350z.

alright...done with some modification.
im not gonna say it was easy-the sunroof was a PITA and i just could not get it to stick down at the top of the rear window.
and i boogered up the one side so decided to cut it in on each side but it came out alright. i need to clean up the rear just a smidge and ill be happy.
I did slice part of my sunroof rubber surround(it was one sharp azz blade) but patched it all up.

Uh, why would you not stay with the lines of the windsheild and back window?
Looks bad to me the way it is now, doesnt flow very well.

well as i said, that was obviously the goal, until i realized the pass side was kinda crinkled from shipping and in trying to fix it i f'd it up and really had no other option but to trim it in on both sides. I didnt WANT it to be like that but im happy with it for now.

it was my first time doing a vinyl over such a large part of the car so it was a learning exp. i m sure i could do better if there is a next time.

It's actually not that bad at all (esp for a first). Also, you could easily 'add-in' more vinyl strips whenever. However, lol, you got me kinda nervous to do it on my own.

And the biggest worry of mine would actually be the sunroof:D
