That looks pretty cool. I messed up so many times I gave up. I could never get the vinyl to conform on the curvature without getting too much excess and creasing.
LIke the pillar delete, nice work! Anybody do this on a blue Model Y? I'd like to see how it looks (since I've got a blue one)--giving it some thought. In terms of difficulty, how hard is it to do? I've got a local guy I could use (did front PPF for me), but just curious if it could be a DIY project....thanks!
I DIY'ed. Its $30 for the vinyl from amazon. Try it yourself first. If you screw it up then hire somebody. The trick is to pull/stretch to go around the curve. A heat gun helps.
Yes. I got Satin Black
But as stated. The metallic highlight was too much for the radar and shuts down autopilot and cruise.

I’m in the middle of doing this on a blue MY. I got the kit from Tesbros (comes with 2 of each vinyl piece). I really
the bed on the passenger side, ruined both vinyls. However I did an excellent job (I think) on the driver side. I went with matte blackAttachments
I'm thinking of trying to attempt this on my MY I'm getting delivered this Saturday the 22.. shop that doing my windows quoted me 350 for the pillar delete so I might try to do it myself too. Can I ask how you did the front behind the mirrors? did you use any kind of template for this? I am looking at rolls of vinyl and their obviously just a straight roll so I'm a little unsure! thanks for any help!
I encourage you to let them do it professionally. It doesn't look hard but it really is.
Mine was included in my PPF coverage of the front of the car for a total of $1750. Satin black looks amazing and wears and cleans well.
For the front decal you can get it from below, just don't use the metallic bottom part because it will mess up your radar.

Looks like there are pre-cut for the pillar delete. It will probably be easier than buying a roll of vinyl but at about 3x the cost though.
I say go for it! It takes a little getting used to but it’s not very difficult, and a hell of a lot more cost effective than paying someone to do it.
