I think if your install knows what he/she is doing he/she should able to wrap the "Shark Fin" without any problem.

Here is what I would tell him/her to do:

1. wrap the roof and leave an opening for the "Shark Fin";

2. wrap the "Shark Fin" from Top-Front, use hair dryer to heat, shape, and strach the vinyl (same process when installing the clear bra), then carefully use the sharp blade to trim out the excessive vinyl!!!


After all these talk about "Shark Fin", now I am in the mood for "Shark Fin Soup"!!! Going to call-in for special order, and pick them up on the way home!!!

I am going to "practice" first on maybe the SC 400 or 2GS before I attempt the 3GS....3GS has airbags up top so not sure how that will work but seems its not an issue.

Good thing. Your car is clean as is. I hate the black roof wrap/paint fad.

Practice will help a lot when you want to do it to the GS. It comes off either way though.
