Default Just got a roof wrap

Decided to go with a black roof wrap on my new 2015 XJL. Never liked the way the roof pillars looked, but didn't want it painted on. This way I can take it off if I decide I don't like it later on down the road. Came out very nice. And makes the whole roof line flow better with the car now.

I like it. Nice that you can remove it later.

Not sure the brand name, I THINK it was a 3m product but not sure. This place does awesome work wrapping. I know its a pretty thick material. They had 2 guys on it, and spent 4 hours installing it, took their time, were careful with the car, and did a great job.

I think it makes the car look lower and sleeker, particularly in white and with tinted windows. It makes the chrome roof trim pop! Doubtful if it would be as effective with a darker color body - a black XJ already has a black roof.

What did it cost? Any recommendations for an installer in metro Atlanta?

I love it...looks fantastic and makes your tinted windows stand out even better. I have a silver XJL with tinted windows and now am seriously considering it after looking at yours.

I hesitate to ask this mate, but could you share how much did you pay to have this done?

+1 On above

Looks really sharp. And if there is a carpark full 1015 XJLs yours will be easy to find. Buy a Black one and do a white roof for the other half.

Looks really nice! I wanted a white XJL, but I was put off by the black pillars. Had I seen this before I bought my black one, I would've reconsidered.

Good job!

Looks really nice. By the way, I like those chrome wheels. Where did you get them?
