If I do not like the fly eye kit, does it removes easily? O it is a very hard job to take it off?

Cuz, i'm thinking to do fly eye kit only on the center of the cyclops. Leaving headlamps without it.

Erm as far as i am aware it **** b easy to peel back off leaving no residue as it is only a vinyl sticker mate.

looks impressive mate

how did you go about doing the roof, did you take the side trim off before wrapping roof, or kept it on and cut round it?

I want to try this, just want to know how to tackle it before i waste some vinyl attempting it wrong.

Cheers duncan

To do the roof i actually took off the roof trims and the began to wrap the roof as it is a lot easier u can then tuck in and hide the edges under the trim.

Its about a 3 man job a bit of patience n some nice weather and your roof should b done mate. These civic roofs are easy as there is no aerial and the roof is almost flat.

Would like to see the progress posts & pics as you do the wing mirrors due to its awkward shape. Good job with the roof!
