[MENTION=7389]Rickycardo[/MENTION] did you do yours yourself? About to DIY my own but wondering what the best way to tackle that little antenna is.

Go over it and then cut and tuck, or remove, cut a hole and wrap the antenna separately? Or something else..?

Two person minimum job DIY. I messed up twice trying to do it myself. I removed the antenna before, make the job much more easier. Its very easy to remove the antenna. Make sure with two people you try to stretch the vinyl to avoid any wrinkles. Not over stretch, but make sure it is taught over the top of the car before you make contact, besides that pretty straight forward. There is no rubber stipping to tuck under so make sure you leave enough slack for the front windshield and rear window so you can tuck as far as you can. Another thing I did was use knifeless tape on the sides and I followed the rear window line (which is the inside of the bead, you'll know what im talking about when you see it) so that it looks like one fluid line.

I like a little color.

No, I had a shop do mine. I dropped it off so I'm not sure how they handled the antenna.

Haha, I originally planned to go it alone, but I watched a couple videos and realized quickly that I'd need an extra set of hands for this. Really appreciate all the tips. Looks like it can turn out pretty pro with a bit of patience.


[MENTION=17026]Digital_Synapse[/MENTION] I'm digging that little pop of color. Might just do the same.

Is this a matte black? Does it show less scratches or is it just like the gloss?

I was going to paint but a rap is better as you can remove it later if you don't like it ;)

Here's my Guard with factory painted black roof option. 1st pic is when I took delivery of the vehicle. Now it has some racing stripes. I find that if you get a dark tint, the black roof just continues the dark glass look.

Is there a certain brand you guys use?

I pay $180 for roofs where I go. This is the 2nd car I've had them do. Pretty reasonable. They also will install the AR tint kits for $40, which I have sitting on my counter waiting to get installed. I could do them but I'd rather have someone else bother with it.

How come some of you guys don't have the antenna up top? I thought all the models had that.

Premium package equipped cars are the only ones that have the antenna's (XM radio).
