    IMG_2627.JPG My wife always liked the look of black solar roof on a special package, but she always wanted to have those 17" wheels that come with loaded package.

    Here I want to post some pictures how I kept my wife happy.

    I installed black roof vinyl and it look amazing and sharp. This Black roof overlay is specially made to be in sun exposure and UV safe. It has air release bubble free technology. Installing it is very easy and does not trap bubbles inside. It has protective layer on it , that protects from scratches during installation.

    Before I put glossy black Prius roof overlay I had the roof covered with black carbon fiber wrap vinyl. When I have received black glossy vinyl for roof, my wifey decided that she would like glossy black roof better. I redid it, Got some points, no need to buy flowers for next 3 months at least.
    Here are some pictures from before How it looked like. I like both looks, it just depends what goes better with your overall vehicle style.

    I is great option to try it out, because it is 100% reversible. If you remove vinyl, there is no any damage to paint or clear coat.
    Send me a message if you would like to get some carbon fiber or black glossy vinyl for your roof or hood.
    I ship or you can pick up in San Diego. IMG_2598 (Large).JPG

    this is brand from texfactory in china. $2 per sq ft. Prius hood is pretty small, I have not measured mine probably 20 sq ft is plenty.

    Looks good! How much would it be for the roof? Also, how difficult is it to install and how long does it take?
