- Today we show you in great detail the procces of vinyl wrapping the roof on the Nissan 370Z! I went with gloss black to tie together the windshield and rear glas and it gave the car a great look! This video show a lot of the steps to vinyl wrap a surface of your vehicle. I used Vvivid vinyl gloss black and knifeless tape. Filmed with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver using some timelapse sections and the POV angle to show the squeegee proccess.

I like the antenna exposed, give it a good look.
looks very nice guys! looks like a panoramic sunroof now.. awesome
Thanks! It looks awesome from the back, gives it that continuous black glass look.
Great video
Thanks!
I think I'm sold on my first car being a 350z 👌🏼
Great choice. Very affordable, reliable and fun!
Getting ready to wrap my 16 Maxima roof & hood & I was trying to figure out what the hell to do about the antenna cuz I don't want to disassemble the inner roof to remove the antenna. Ur vid convinced me to just cut it out... thanks. BTW, looks good
Nice! Enjoy your project!
looks beautiful. Good job guys
Thanks!
Would you say it takes a lot of effort to get the wrap right? I got the impression that getting the vinyl to look good was difficult from your video, am I correct?
1 easy application that they could've used is "glassing" the wrap by pulling the wrinkles out one corner at a time in a triangle section. Glassing the roof makes squeegeeing so much easier
Great videos! Love anything to do with a Nissan 370Z , which I'm close to getting soon!!!
Thanks! and awesome!
Beautiful car man.. I just watched your videos starting from you deciding between the 3.8 Genesis and and 370 all the was up to you adding the AAM exhaust and now this video. I really like what you did to your car. I love the 370Z and especially that color and the sport package rims. I personally think the earlier 370's are better looking than the newer ones.
I'm actually in the same position that you were in with deciding between the 3.8 and the Z. Would you mind doing a video that describes daily life with a Z? i feel like I'm generally in the same boat as you, i rarely carry more than one passenger, not much luggage, and i want a sportier car than i have now, a step up so to speak. I currently have a 2003 Acura CL Type-S with Nav. Great car, more than enough power for me but i want a step up. more power, better handling, RWD, better looking and sounding. The Z has always been one of those dream cars for me that i never really thought i could realistically own. Like one of those things that i've always wanted but knew i couldn't have but lately, I've been thinking "fuck it, just buy it." I sat in one at the Philadelphia Auto Show last year, and I'm going to sit in it again this year, but the only thing I'm not the biggest fan of is the rear and side visibility. Mainly the rear view mirrors and the blind spots. I'm sure i could get around that eventually.
Let me know how you feel about daily life in your car!
Keep the good videos up man.
Thanks for the support! I just made a video on 'thing I hate about the Z' I go over blind spots lol. I have some more vids coming about the car real soon!
Yeah I watched that video already, you had some valid points but honestly the only thing that I think applies to me would be blind spots. I'm one of those drivers where I need to know whats going on around me at any given point so you'll catch me looking at my mirrors often. Anywho, I'm looking forward to your videos on the Z. Beautiful color and beautiful car. Very tasteful Mods bro.
Thanks! Once you adjust your mirrors properly, the only blind spot you can't get away from is at a perpendicular intersection. If your car is angled to the left, it will be super hard to see cars coming from the right. So I always keep my car at a right angle to the road I'm turning on.
If you stretch the vinyl more before placing it you can have a flat surface all the way around and just squeegee out the air faster.
That's what I was wondering, why he didn't glass it out first, it's an easier technique especially on the roof
Because if you can avoid stretching, you should
Thinking about trying to wrap my Nissan Titan. Yours is a great video! Can you tell me the cleaning solution and details on the knifeless tape? Thanks!
Get 3M knifeless tape, and after u wash ur truck very well, clean whatever area that's getting wrapped with 70% rubbing alcohol to remove any grime, oils, etc.
good job mate....u make it look easy!!!
At 11:00 couldn’t we cover this up by using a carbon fiber antenna cover? Instead of wrapping it?
That could probably work. But way to wrap the roof would have been to remove the antenna cover
your 370 doesnt have a rear wiper, im assuming thats the way US ones are but is your rear glass heated?
None of the US 370Z cars had them. The 350z had the rear wiper. But these all do have the rear defrost lines too
@@BrosFOURRSpeed lucky, we have to buy the plugs to seal off the holes left by the wiper and washer nozzle. I wondered about the defrost because you couldnt see them at all after the tint 😁
To seal a plug on the 370? I never liked it on the 350 so I'm glad they decided to ditch it. And yeah they hide well with the tint lol!
Very sweet!! Most def getting this done when i get my 370Z !!!
Awesome!
Great video bro very detailed and helpful. Quick question though, how much vinyl wrap would i need? I got a 70z as well
I think it was 4ft by 3ft. measure your roof and get a piece that will give you at least 6in of overlap all around.
Thanks man
What brand of wrap did you use?
Hey buddy where did you get the wrap from?
amzn.to/3hXhZJC
Here yah go!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you buddy what size in particular did you use?
Can't remember exactly. But just measure your roof and see what size will cover it
What dimensions and material was it?
I'm wondering how long can one expect it to continue to clean up like new (due to exposure), and how long or how many miles can you expect it to stay clinged to all the surface areas
I had a 3m vinyl on my tail lights for a little over 7 years with no issues in FL sun. Held up surprisingly well and waxed to a shine when it would start to dull just like the paint.
Great how to video, loved how you used the knife less tape it was a great idea instead of using a razor etc, subscribing for more awesome content :)
Glad you liked it! The knifeless tape is definitely a must, check out the vinyl videos of the Evora, the knifeless tape really helped that project! thanks for the support!
I approve this wrap! Just style, no tuner shit.
aha thanks!
What’s the tint specs on your windows?
I believe I had 35% on this car
If I do the same thing how will this do in 130 degree weather? I live I Arizona and I park my car outside
yoooo. I've been wanting to do this to my z forever!
Do it!
any idea how much it it would cost to have it done by a shop?
I would guess $150-$250
can I ask where you bought the vinyl wrap from? thanks
hi , i would like to know where do you get the wrap i want to send to me , thanks
Can you use fast wax on black gloss
Bro do you think if i will put 5d carbon roof and with carbon hood is it gonna be fine? My car is pearl white 2016
As long as it is a good vinyl brand and the film itself is designed for exterior use.
Where did u get the wrap from
i started on mine today and its pretty hard to do as a one person job. yours came out really nice. i may have ruined the material and i have to wait until more comes in...
I've never done it one person. it might help to leave half the backing on the material and do half the roof at a time.
thats what one would think and its exactly what I did, but it leads to the 2nd half having a ton of wrinkles haha, oh well, small areas are super easy though :D . Im still on the fence on whether I should continue, I've done a roller paint job that came out pretty good, but I tried wrap this time since I don't want to deal with fumes and drying/sanding time.
Hmm, maybe you can find some tricks on how to do it just one person in some other videos. It is a lot of work, but if you have time to try again or get a buddy to help you.
Check out CK WRAP, they are a pro wrap shop with tons of good vids
one-day I will get the courage to wrap my car, but it looks sooo difficult
We want to wrap both of our cars. But it will definitely be a huge project
Nice! How much did that whole roll cost you guys?
the size for this roof is a 4ft X 5ft. Should be about $35
Where can I get this roof wrap from? Thx
Vvivid & Avery are excellent vinyl wraps. Avery is more workable for beginners, but a lil more costly.
earned a sub
Thanks!
Nice !!!!
What is your Average mpg on this manual? thanks
I've been getting about 23.5 around town, and 31.5 highway
How in the world do you get that high?! I'm about 21 in city and 26 on highway
what is the name of the Grey Car in background at 10:43
That's a Lotus Evora.
what percent tint on the 370z?
35%
😍
Whats the car in the background??
Lotus Ever
Ran over Dog frisbee......You could also do a detailing video.
I think my tire just barely missed it lol I'm thinking of some kind of detailing vid
Guys, Pull tighter, its not gonna rip. You can yank someone across the car if you wanted. Make sure you pull tight and not have it loose like these guys
Folks sometimes misunderstand how automotive vinyl works.
Can you wash ur car in a car wash with this?
Miguel Burdier I haven't, but I'm sure it could handle it...I just don't want to test and see.
That was terrible wrapping technique
My thoughts exactly...why make an instructional when you don't know what you're doing.
