You should use the blade and some heat after to help stick to the roof. Start in the middle angle the wipes all the way to the end. It pushes the air bubbles out and the heat melts and sticks the wrap down
Looks good man! I reckon colour match the shark fin antenna to the lip spoiler on the back. That could potentially look good! Otherwise just leave it with the stock colour :)
I did mine on my own and been on for 3 years now. It’s got a few cracks now so getting some new stuff and tuck under the glass rubber better lol. Was going to lay real carbon down. But doing my splitter first. Coz had a few bits turning white over the sun even with UV clear coat
I got hail damage on my roof and was thinking of just patching it and doing something like this. I got the same car lol, it looks really good. I would match the fin too though
Nice work! Stek makes CF PPF which gives you the look and amazing protection, self healing properties with a 10yr warranty. Awesome detailed video. I even like the fact you mentioned that you didn't order enough material. Dang, that had to be one of those WTF this S**T can't be happening moments.
I think the CF vinyl roof wrap looks great. Nice work around the sun roof. I say go with the vortext gen and silver fin. Nice contrast. You are not a rapper (no bling) you are a car guy.
Looks good bro. Leave the shark fin antenna silver. I’m the type that rather pay to put the wrap on, I don’t have that much of patience 😂, you made it look easy.
The car looks really good! But I have to admit I’m not a fan of fake carbon fiber no matter what it is. I think the antenna would look better in the same wrap as the roof or a satin black like your vortex generator. But whatever you like is all that matters.
...gold/bronze might be a bit much. why not try to find a CF weave that has gold/bronze filaments woven through it (similar to some CF with blues and reds). Also, nothing wrong with putting a CF wrap on a DGM car. should be enough of a difference for people to tell...
I would have gone with the Ebay 5D black carbon fiber which looks the realest just like your real carbon fiber spoiler to match your carbon fiber spoiler and you should also do your hood and it wouldn't look badd ass. Put the vortex generator back on and blacken the shark fin. It came out really nice👍
That looks amazing! You’re braver with vinyl than me. I’m finally getting my ice silver WRX in 2 weeks. Silver WRX’s are extremely uncommon in Australia. It will arrive next week but I’m getting a professional to put PPF on the side skirts/bumpers and some carbon fibre highlights. Then a professional ceramic coating & window tinting. After seeing this I’m keen to do the roof too. Was there a seal or anything under the shark fin? I’d hate to pull it apart and then have it leak
How did you put the mold back on using the clips? I have a 2019 Impreza and one molding has come loose. For the life of me l can’t figure out how to clip it back down. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you ended up being installing the vortex generator on top of the the vinyl? I have ordered the Metro Wrap Real D 2.0 Carbon Fiber Vinyl Film - 3M / High Gloss as per your recommendation. I got the real carbon fiber vortex generator as well. I was wondering if I install the vortex generator on top of the vinyl, will that hold on the vinyl when the air will flow? Or I have to install the vortex generator by slicing down the wrap. I dont know what to do. because slicing the wrap for installing the vortex generator is definitely gonna be challenging and dont know how to do that actually. Could not find any reference video in youtube as well
What were length & width measurements you used to figure out the amount of wrap required? Im caught between ordering 6ft x 5ft or just going for the 8ft x 5ft
Great! I'm trying to determine which one to buy because I want to do my hood roof and trunk. This one looks pretty good, nice gloss as well. I'll also be doing all the trim inside as well. Thanks for the quick response
Man, the way you first placed the vinyl onto the roof was hard to watch. Always remove the wrap from the film on top of the body panel you plan to wrap to avoid crunching up wrap. Magnets also help a lot of you're by yourself.
i dun understand why you would as viewers what they should do to their car. i mean its your car you are the one driving it . should be an expression of self not your viewers...

Man it came out lookin good. I'd keep the vortex generator off though just my opinion
Looks awesome so far, Kevin! You make Ice Silver Metallic look really nice. 😁
;) Just wait till we actually detail and professionally ceramic the paint next month!
@@WRXGarage Will be looking forward to seeing that! Also I think in my opinion, a gloss black sharkfin would compliment the carbon fiber wrap!
Yeah 😍🔥👍.... mine is satin black has been for 2yrs now.. was thinking about the carbon fiber after seeing this I'm liking it! Good job putting it on👍
Why does everyone with a silver wrx act like an assistant manager at a Walmart
The carbon looks SO good! I'd 100% black out the shark fin but it looks good as is too. This definitely takes some patience haha
Looks good I would put extra layer of PPF on top to make it more glossy and it can protect the carbon fiber from the top
That's actually a really good idea! I've been thinking of trying to ppf the entire car on my own.
@@WRXGarage check this video they put PPF in top of the carbon fiber wrap it looks even better th-cam.com/video/_KWnNdFj1jw/w-d-xo.html

Looks good. If it was my WRX, I would keep the antenna silver color, and no vortex generator. Nice looking ride you have.

Silver works for the fin. Vortex is fine being left off
Looks good bro. Leave the shark fin antenna silver. I’m the type that rather pay to put the wrap on, I don’t have that much of patience 😂, you made it look easy.
I wonder what it would look like if you vinyl wrapped the sunroof glass as well. Would that look weird??
That looks awesome!!!
No bro it looks awesome i love it really wanna try it myself now😂
The windows need to be darker for sure. Look at Xpel Prime XR Ceramic tint.
Looks great ❤
Looks sweet! Silver sharkfin for sure 😎
good job bro, I think the antenna looks better in gloss black
Looks amazing
That uh oh face os always classic when dealing with cars😂 good video though bro
😂 thanks man
The car looks really good! But I have to admit I’m not a fan of fake carbon fiber no matter what it is. I think the antenna would look better in the same wrap as the roof or a satin black like your vortex generator. But whatever you like is all that matters.
It looks really good!!! My car is the same color and I'm going to do the roof and hood and trunk lids!!! I have a 2011 Buick Regal Turbo!!!
Very nice look brother ! Great work!
my wrx is in dark grey metallic, i was thinking of gold roof,
...gold/bronze might be a bit much. why not try to find a CF weave that has gold/bronze filaments woven through it (similar to some CF with blues and reds). Also, nothing wrong with putting a CF wrap on a DGM car. should be enough of a difference for people to tell...
Keep the shark fin body color and def put the vortex back on!
I would have gone with the Ebay 5D black carbon fiber which looks the realest just like your real carbon fiber spoiler to match your carbon fiber spoiler and you should also do your hood and it wouldn't look badd ass. Put the vortex generator back on and blacken the shark fin. It came out really nice👍
Looks great!
Is there any difference in temperature inside while it's kept in the sun?
Well done.
Looks good!!!!
Looks good! I would go black on the shark fin.
Black sharkfin suits well bro
I love it bro looks cool , change it to black. Am thinking to wrap my with red, is a black car .
That looks amazing! You’re braver with vinyl than me.

Was there a seal or anything under the shark fin? I’d hate to pull it apart and then have it leak
Yes a small rubber seal. I haven't had any issues with leaking, it's not an adhesive, just an oring
so 6X5 is the correct amount you need?
good job bro. im definitely getting someone to do it for me,
id prolly wrap myself on the roof 😂
How did you put the mold back on using the clips? I have a 2019 Impreza and one molding has come loose. For the life of me l can’t figure out how to clip it back down. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The molding basically has to slide onto each of those studs together, it's kinda difficult to get all 3 at the same time
Pretty good job came out nice 👍
Dope

Mine has held on with no issues for a couple years now!
@@WRXGarage cool. I will do the same then. Thanks man for saving my day
How has it held up with time? Great work installing it and thanks for listing the wrap you used.
It's held up great so far! No fading or peeling yet
@@WRXGarage So it is the Metro Wrap Real D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Film 3M not Avery?
It's avery brand, metro restyling is the seller/distributor
I’d say black would go good with the carbon fiber. How many miles you have on the wrx ?
Right around 55k now
WRXGarage did you ever have a strut problem with the oem ones ? Like making a knocking or clinking sound
Not with the OEM suspension, no. It was definitely loud and not very comfortable though..
WRXGarage I can agree to that I want fortune auto 500 coil overs
That's what I've been running for a year now
What were length & width measurements you used to figure out the amount of wrap required? Im caught between ordering 6ft x 5ft or just going for the 8ft x 5ft
You need the 59" x 6 feet! So 5'x6'
How do you like the color/contrast 2 months later? Dark enough? BTW- is that wrap Avery Dennison CF Black 194?
Yeah! It's darkened up a tiny bit in the sun. Look in the description for the link!
Why did you go with Avery real D vs Avery Real D 2.0? I will be purchasing once I find out what is the difference thank you
The original version had more customer pictures on the webpage! Decided to just go for it
Good job 👍
St5 ? Isn’t that a 4th gen ?
What's the difference between Avery and 3m, dope vid BTW
I think Avery is owned by 3M
Hey man how much should I get to wrap the roof for my 2016 Lexus f sport is200t?
I bet you can find the dimensions online somewhere!
I bought some off eBay and had trouble stretching it like you did and it kept making little rips. Was this wrap good quality?
Yes this is professional grade wrap. Look at the link in the description!
Wheels bro ??
hi, I'm about to do the same thing with my car but I've heard that is fading in time, how is looking after a few months? thanks
Looks brand new still! A good ceramic coating over it will help protect from fading
@@WRXGarage thanks, i will try this
where did you buy the carbon fiber
Link in description.
Looks great, was there an option for a darker carbon fiber?
It's difficult to tell the exact color online, i think I'd have to request a bunch of samples.
WRXGarage got it, I was just wondering if you knew what color it was! It looks great, I’m definitely going to do mine! Thanks
Link for the vinyl I used in the bio! 3M and Avery are the only companies I'd ever trust. The "2.0" version might be darker than the one I chose
WRXGarage awesome, thanks for the share!
Hows the wrap holding up so far?
100% perfect even after 2 winters!
That doesn't reflect like real carbon fiber...
How has this held up over the years with the sun exposure?
Great so far! Two summers and a winter later, and i haven't seen any fading or peeling at all.
Great! I'm trying to determine which one to buy because I want to do my hood roof and trunk. This one looks pretty good, nice gloss as well. I'll also be doing all the trim inside as well. Thanks for the quick response
Awesome!!
Super Fun 😂😂😂
will it ruin the wrap if I put a roof rack?
I don't think so. It might scratch it a little bit over time but I doubt that it would fully tear it or something like that.
I wanna do that on my Lexus GSF
Is this 6D or 5D CF vinyl wrap?
Link in description.
What size wrap did you buy?
6'x5'
Great job bro! 🙌 what film did you use. Is there a link to buy?
Link in description!
dam i need this for my 2020 sti but i don’t trust myself doing it lol
Vortex gen and leave silver
What’s the size of the wrap?
6'x5'
How the faction fab coilovers now that it’s been months
we'll have a follow up review of 1 year on both of our coilovers coming up in a couple weeks! just a hint.. so far, they've been awesome.
Change fin to black
Looks good👍🏻
Bruh... You need some Goo-Gone for that 3M tape.
Tried it! Did not work in the slightest 😂
Nice Editing...👍👏😊
Very funny... 😂
Cool guy in a cool video... 👍
Vortex generator back on
Size??
6'x5'
@@WRXGarage ty🙏
Fishing line slice right through your hands ayyye 🤔
If you a wrap it around your hands and pull it can slice straight through the skin... I've done it before.
@@WRXGarage i guess if you're pulling really hard makes sense
Man, the way you first placed the vinyl onto the roof was hard to watch. Always remove the wrap from the film on top of the body panel you plan to wrap to avoid crunching up wrap. Magnets also help a lot of you're by yourself.
This was my first time ever wrapping something so I was learning as I went! I think the end result came out really good though
Black
Silver roof and sell me the vortex
+100 ricer points. Poor taste for sure
Must improve your camera shots
i dun understand why you would as viewers what they should do to their car. i mean its your car you are the one driving it . should be an expression of self not your viewers...
What brand of vinyl did you use ?
