    Hi guys, just wanted to share some pictures and my experience with the guys who did my roof wrap.
    I got my car last Sunday and the first thing i wanted to do was my roof since couple of my friends recommended on my pearl white Prius. Oh boy the car looks very very good with that gloss black roof. i'm so happy with the whole thing that i promised the shop I'll post something in here so that you all now where to go.

    I want to recommend RoloTech graphics over @ Anaheim if you want your roof wrapped or just about anything, they had a fully wrapped BMW 3 series Matte red as display. The whole thing took two hours. they clay bar and waxed the roof prior installation. I paid $225.00 for those who are wondering how much.

    Here is their yelp page. RoloTech Graphics & Car Wraps - Anaheim, CA

    Very sharp!
    I'd love to do that to my BP PIP- but it gets too damn hot here in the summer so a black roof is just out of the question unfortunately.
    Congrats...

    I miss the solar roof I had on my Three so I was going to wrap my roof. The local shop wanted $400 though.

    The warranty given was against peeling or for bubbles 3 months. They said vinyl will be good for couple of years.

    I wrapped my subaru roof for $48. Of course I did it my self. Going to do the prius here shortly. This time I need a little assistance. Looks good though. I like it!

    Can they wrap a shark fin antenna if it's already mounted?

    That's got to be a good application for the rear spoiler. (mine's a little chewed up by the garage door)

    That would have to be removed & warped by itself & then reinstalled

    Looking sweet, seriously considering this :)

    How does it stand up to washing/polishing swirls?

    That seems short. It'd be cheaper in the long run just to have the body shop paint it gloss black.
