Default Question regarding black roof vinyl

Hey guys, i got quoted 500$ to do a black roof vinyl and that sounds outrageous to me, my first question is how much did you guys pay to get yours done, and secondly does anyone know a place in the atlanta area i can get this done for a reasonable price? i would greatly appreciate any info, thanks guys

the cheapest i've heard of it being done is around 100 bucks, but thats thru connections. My other friend got it done on his STI for 150 bucks and they did a pretty good job.

It depends on who you go to as well as the material being used.

i just went to a small local shop that just started to do vinyl wrapping. i guess their price was cheap because they were trying to get their name out but for 200 bucks it looks great. they also did my pillars and chrome trim around the windows for free.

How does the vinyl hold up with car washes? Any problems with water getting in the edges or anything like that?

yeah that does seem like a lot to vinyl a roof, is it some type of special vinyl? I know that there is some marine grade stuff.
