Here are some of the pictures of the tail lights that I vinyled over this weekend. Smoked/tinted the entire tail light on this BMW E60 535i. Yes, it is a film that I use, not spray/paint/etc.

Your work is so great! I would definitely use your services if I lived close.

Here are pictures of the tail lights that I tinted with a red vinyl film for on this Subaru WRX. I cut out the reverse/turn light pieces for him as well.

For those who don't know what these tails looked like before I tinted it, here's a stock picture for reference.

Blacked out the window trim on this E60 5 series with some matte black vinyl. They were originally chrome, and the owner wanted to get rid of them, to go with a more blacked out/murdered out look for his car. Everything is done in one piece, no seam lines anywhere, even on the rear doors where it curves downwards.

I forgot to take some before/after pictures, until I was half way done, so here's the best I have of a comparison of the chrome (bottom trim) compared to the trim that I wrapped (top trim) already in matte black.

Finished result:

Another fellow Orange County member on another forum that I am on came by with his white E60 BMW M5 to have his roof vinyl wrapped with the 3M di noc carbon fiber.

Here are some pictures that I took of it. Let me know what you guys think.

i think i'm going to end up redoing my roof this coming spring/summer... its looking a bit rough if places now...

I had a car come by (E92 BMW 3 series coupe), to have me vinyl wrap his window trim with black vinyl to cover the chrome/aluminum finish. He had done one side, but decided that he wanted me to finish/wrap his other side. He had originally purchased some "matte black" vinyl from another competing vendor.

Note the differences in the finish between my vinyl and my competitors vinyl, and how my material actually has a black sheen/finish to it compared to theirs, which is almost a faded black or greyish color (this was brand new material, that the owner had just purchased/put on a week before). Also note, I did not do the install on this side of the window trim, as I do all of my window trim installs in a single continuous piece, without any seams.

Luckily for the owner of this car, I have several shades of black that I keep on hand, and was able to match the material he had already used. This saved him from having two different shades on either side of the car, or having to completely redo the window trim that was already done.

Although I vinyl/black out window trims fairly often, it's not too often/common that I have someone request or ask me to wrap their window trims in gloss black (instead of matte black).

So for those who are curious what it looks like, this is what a gloss black vinyl wrapped window trim looks like. Did this on an E46 BMW 325i black coupe. Owner drove from Fullerton/Orange County.

Ran across pictures of this car that I did several months back. The owner of this car drove up from San Diego area, or around Carlsbad, to me in Orange County to have me vinyl wrap his roof in gloss black material. It is a Mercedes E55, and I think the color of the car is called pewter. I think the gloss roof and the color of the car went nicely together.

Pictures of this silver 7th(?) gen Honda Accord that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in gloss black. Note his hood is real carbon fiber, so it's a good comparison for those who are trying to figure out what they want to go with, who have either a cf hood and or trunk. The owner of this car came from Pasadena out to me in Orange County to get it done.

Cool car, with mods/styles that you don't see anymore these days, like you did back around ~2000.

Here are pictures of Joe @ Trinity's E60 M5 that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in the 3M di-noc carbon fiber material. A fellow Irvine/Orange County car, so he was right down the street from me, almost quite literally. Didn't have much room to take the pictures, but I tried doing what I could.

Installed gloss black vinyl on this white IS300. Car was from Anaheim/Orange County. The car had a carbon fiber trunk that was tinted/painted lightly black, to give the weave a more subtle effect.

These pictures will show those of you who've asked how a black roof looks like with a roof spoiler that's not black and still left body colored.

Tow hook on the Accord.

I LOL'd.

Style man.

No, not style. In fact, just the opposite.

Your vinyl roof wraps? That's style, a purely cosmetic accent to set off a car and to personalize someone's ride.

A faux tow hook on a grandmotherly grocery getter? Any racing-inspired geegaw on a sedan that doesn't see track action? That's a LOL.

It was a joke.

Here are some pictures of a white E92 BMW 335i that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black vinyl. The car came up to me in Irvine from south orange county. Don't mind the antenna, I didn't put the antenna cover for it back on yet when I took these pictures.

Here are pictures of tail lights that I tinted on a darker graphite colored C230 mercedes benz. The owner came from Glendale down to me in Orange County. I tinted the white turn signals on the tails, the turn signals on the side mirrors, and the amber reflector/light on the front bumper.
