Default vinyl top

I want to get the vinyl done to my IS 350, is there somewhere you can order the vinyl or do I need to take it to a body shop?

Check with your local tint shop, unless you want to buy the vinyl and install it yourself.

FYI, not sure if its the quality of vinyl i got, but it was 3m, which im guessing is good. i vinyled my roof black, and then 2-3 months later i removed it, b/c i wanted to just paint it, however it left yellow haze on my roof ( my cars white ), which i removed with polishing compound. if i had to do it over again, i would just pay to paint it, of course if its financially right.

Here's what my roof looked like when it was vinyled glossy black. I had it removed later on and painted because it's glossier that way. The second picture really shows the vinyl texture.
