And wrapping the sharkin is very difficult. My tint shop said no guarantees on how long the vinyl will stay on the fin. Deal breaker for me.

Yeah that fin either has to be painted, replaced with one from a Black IS (most common option), or plasti-dipped. There's no way Vinyl will hold up with the curves on that thing.

im running vinyl roof and is holding up fine. As for scratches i was told by a member to buy a product called Novus fine scratch remover and well its been 3 years now and no problems at all.

Wish they had lips for the new bumper, I like the f sport kit but it's just not low enough even tucking on coils I don't scrape speed bumps, I like soleeasii's clearance!
