matte black roof decal
has anyone seen a place that has a pre-cut decal for the roof for our cars? The only thing ive seen that would work would be vinyl wrap, but i have never worked with it and dont want to take the chance of screwing it up

plasti-dip will work, but do it right - get a good spray nozzle or spray-gun all-together when you dip it. Such a large surface, inconsistencies in layers of dip will show quickly (Seen a few guys spray their roof and hoods and did it straight from can = not so good and was quickly peeled off).
Might consider getting a can of the glossifier-dip to go with it - you might dig the matt black roof, but from what I've seen after the gloss hits it, you'd have to be right up on it to realize it wasn't a tinted glass roof. (seen a dipped & glossed roof and a vinyl roof in person; [not mustangs] without being told I couldn't have said the difference - I actually thought the dip was the vinyl'd one at first it came out so well).
2 cans of black and a can of gloss should do the roof just fine + decent nozzle = $25-$30 (spray gun... +$60)
1 vinyl skin for the roof + install = $300 and up, is going rate around here
