Default Roof decal install question

how long do you have to leave something like this sit for? do you think 24 hours is enough time?

24 hours should be more than enough time. Once applied I would let it sit in the sun for a few hours. I think that will look good with your white car. Good luck with it.

Very easy as a do-it-yourselfer. Be sure to remove all wax with a good remover, clay bar the top, and then apply.

sufrbum,

Great choice, I love the black roof on a white stang.(Any stang actually lol) After install I would recommend just giving the car a few hours to settle and you'll be good to go, 24 hours will be plenty of time!

Let me know if you have any question and definitely post up some pictures when you finish the install!

I got the matte black for my '11 White GT and it wasn't too bad to put on. I used a good wax remover on the roof before I applied it. I used a spray bottle with a little bit of baby shampoo in it. Like a drop of shampoo for a 32oz spray bottle. It took me about an hour to do myself. I highly recommend having an extra set of hands to help with the placement as it will move as you squeege the water out from under the decal. A big thing is make sure the roof is super clean and I even went as far as hosing down my garage floor just to help keep the dust on the floor from coming up. I then used a lot, and I mean a lot of water on bot the roof and decal to make placing it easier. You will have to mess with the corners and edges a bit but it does fit nicely. I did not have to trim it, everything tucked in where it should. The really tricky part its tucking the decal under the weather strip for the windshield. That was actually my starting point. After I got the decal lined up side to side I pulled a little extra forward and used a plastic putty knife to lift up the weather strip and then the little squeege thing that comes with it to tuck it under. Once that was done it was just a matter of removing the water. Just remember to wrap the squeege in a clean microfiber cloth so you don't scratch the decal. Once I got all the water out I pulled the car in the sun and let it sit for about an hour and called it a day. It is a nice piece actually. High quality vinyl and an awesome apperance mod if you ask me. I have that and a matching matt black boss hood decal. Hope this helps, I'll post pictures of mine when I get home from work.
