I want to try wrapping my roof for fun but those strips give me anxiety as far as how to address them. but either way I think i'd remove the little winglet on the roof. the body kit gives the car long flowy smooth classy lines/silhouette, then the roof strip kind of is unnatural and interrupts it.
Nah. Personal preference. I like it and would keep it. I don’t know if wrapping the roof would really “improve” the look or not. It is very subjective but not something I would appreciate. I think it looks great just as is!

I'd still like a picture from the front. a very clear picture. assess fitment, lines, texture, uniformity, waves or lack thereof. i'm xtremely picky. ii don't do any amount of deformation, etc. i need it to be glass basically.

'd consider this kit if if i found at a good price and pre-painted, and of course, extreme quality.. lol

I too am very picky, and found the lip to be in great shape with no warping or waves. I will send more pics when I get a chance to take them. Here is a Youtube video of the installation for the front lip, FYI:

It could be just the photo, but in this picture the front edge of the lip looks wavy to me so that's why i asked. is it really fully glassed out? (the texture/surface)?

No ceramic coating just regular car washes.

I like. I also like that it's not color matched so it doesn't look so prominent.
