Was thinking of wrapping my roof myself as I like to do DIY and most likely wrapping shops aren't open. Has anyone tried this?

Wraps are much harder than you think.
Definitely give it ago because itā€™s not too expensive, but itā€™s definitely takes a lot of trial and error to get it right.

Anyone have luck finding Vivid gloss black wrap bigger than 10ft in stock?

I can only find 3M 5x5. Think thatā€™s enough to cover the roof?

Didnā€™t do the wrap myself. The guy doing it had a hard time taking off one of the vortex generators. Apparently the screw/nut inside was just spinning. Overall Iā€™m happy with it. Looks like the 2021 limited edition ones as those have the black roof

How does the trunk gap look from front to back? It's a big gap and every roof wrap I've seen you can see the body color in the gap and it bothers me

I was about to do this. Well not me wrapping it but a shop near my house. CF or course. It would run @ $600 but he said it would be hard because of that dumb ass satellite radio antenna. It would have been ok if my car was black but it's not. I got a CW so it would look stupid with the satellite antennae sticking out. Any body took theirs out once their trial ended?

My friend I wrapped the roof in an evening. It can be done quite easily as the shape is very flat. We didn't have much prior wrap experience. Need to look up removing the aerial and the liner on the inside before you can wrap it nicely. Very doable very cheap for inexperienced wrappers.

Very important to clean the surface diligently before hand and wrap indoors.

Wrapping the mirrors was a bit harder but you can easily get mirror cover replacements too.

Honda Civic 10th gen Roof Wrapping? 20200814_001221

This was my first time wrapping and I did the roof in carbon fiber wrap.
I used Avery Dennison's CF wrap. Way way easier to work with compared to Vvivid's. Easily repositionable and a lot less initial tack.

You can definitely do it yourself. It might not be perfect, but it can come out looking pretty clean.

How was wrapping the rear hatch area? Did you remove those pieces?
