mikey,

ugh, sometimes if you want something done right, you got to do with them. i had issues with my install and they've done it before. i ended up coming up with the plan on installing and did it with him. if your not happy with it, then you want to do it again. i know it's going to bother you.
you can try this other type that i was referring to from www.stickercity.com, they have the vinyl that you don't need liquid and you can crumble it and reuse it. now it's not as UV protect-ant as your standard, but it should hold up fine. give them a call and inquire. they also have a how to video and it will surprise you how much easier it is to work with. all you'll need is one, maybe two other people to help.
let me know if you have any questions?
Later!
Jimmy

is this a pricey mod? I wonder how a fairly stock silversteel charger like mine would look with a flat black roof? I don't have a sunroof either. hmm

Jimmy, im a little bit screwed on this deal...
this matte black vinyl piece i bought from stickercity.com it appears to be like an inch too short ? and its all wrinkled ? i says on the paper that when you install you can use a heat gun and stretch the material and the wrinkles come out. any thoughts ? did you aslo use any adhesive primer for the install ?

Thanks -Mike

*Edit and when i ordered my quantity was 5 and your car is the nicest silver srt ive ever seen.

Thanks bro! As far as the vinyl, which kind did you get? They have several versions. Did you get the same that's on they're roof install video? If it is, than that can stretch and wrinkles will come out. Never heard of having to use adhesive?
