Thanks.

Easiest way to go is to measure it...I bet that a 48"x48" square would work, but I would measure.

Obviously, it's your car. But putting a vinyl top on a Crossfire is the one of the most absurd things I've heard in a very long time. When I saw the thread I thought it was a joke.

Oh. It is a joke! Thank God! What a scare. Thought you guys were serious for a minute.

Well, it's not vinyl in the sense of a 1977 Monte Carlo with a vinyl roof, if that's what you're thinking. This vinyl is no thicker or heavier than your typical sticker or decal, and when it's on it looks like paint. In fact, we have a Porsche Cayman that we wrapped fully in flat white and people want to argue with us that it's not a vinyl wrap and that it has to be flat white paint because vinyl could never look that good. But it does.

The nice thing about this is that for less than a couple hundred bucks you can totally change the look of your car (when doing just the roof, as in this case - you can't wrap an entire car for $200) and then later on take it back to stock for free - just peel the vinyl off.

This guy was not kidding with his gold/flat black vinyl wrap job.

Kinda like Bruce Willis did to his van as the Jackal, except his was paint, I think.
