Seems the only way I could get a hardtop for a decent price was with it still attached to the car...

Car is already sanded downKeep the stock montego blue color or do something different? Give me reccomendations!

Florescent brown.

I used this. If I was doing it again I'd consider the factory color just to avoid doing the door jams.

OEM or close to OEM if you are not getting that back to a bare shell and repaint inside and out. Nothing bugs me more than mis-matched door jams, engine bays etc.

I think this is what im most worried about, much more work to change the color and id hate myself everytime i opened the hood/trunk.

yeah , been doing the car wrap myself and been learning as I go. Only parts left are the bumpers and the A pillars. I spent most of the time prepping all the surfaces and the undersides where the vinyl will touch. It isn’t difficult, just time consuming. I suggest get a small amount and try wrapping something. Also don’t do the hardtop solo lol.
