I'll keep painters tape in mind. Here's another item I've purchased but haven't used yet. It's a good option, and is probably a LOT quicker to apply!

Hey bud, be careful how you apply roadwrap. I used it for a trip to Ontario Canada with GT in my avatar, and I thought it was all adhered to the car, but a corner came up and it started flapping on the fender for miles and eventually marred the clear by the time I saw what was going on. When I got to the hotel, there was a small mark on the fender and I have to see if I can get it out. I would have done it sooner, but I got sick in Canada and had to fly home on an air ambulance. The stuff is good, just make sure its 100% stuck to the car. If a corner comes up, it will flap against the car.

Good put! I will take your advice and be sure it's well sealed to the car. Did the Roadwrap product leave any adhesive behind or make any marks aside from the abrasion from the flapping? Thx!

The glass roof really was important to me. Its a little unique, lets lots of light in to show off those reacros. Really feels open, airy while inside.

Congrats, beautiful car! I'm jealous the glass roof wasn't an option for 2010
