Cooperflag installer

I know that a lot of you will say that a good window tint place can do it but have any of you had a cooperflag sunroof install done at any DC Metro area shop?

I have a unique flag on order for my baby "FIXXXER" which has a scheduled delivery date of the 17nth...woohoo cannot wait any longer! I need my "FIXXX"
The cooperflags website lists an installer down in La Plata...has anyone used this guy or know of a better one that will warranty the installation?

Thanks a million gang!

A few of us have had work done by Speedesign Graphics in White Marsh MD. Michael and I had both our Cooperflags roof graphics installed by them. Good work. Fair prices. Long drive from our Arlington location, but we thought it was worth it.

I used Speed Design as well and agree with what Jen said. Kinda far from Fredricksburg tho. Try looking in online Yellow Pages for someone who's closer to you...

I tried this email but it does not work. Emails sent to this address will come back in error. Are you sure this is the address?

I just may have to call up there

I have an update to this.....I contacted David (the graphics installer that was featured at Lucky Dog) in regards to installing a sunroof vinyl made by our friends over at CooperFlags. The going rate for a vynil installation is $50 - $75 with that being said I was hoping that David could install my flag for around the same price but oh was I so so so wrong! The quote he gave me was for $250! Can you believe that!? He said it costs this much because his shop did not produce the vinyl....no other reasons given. In short he will not be getting any of my business so let this serve as a heads up to everyone.

Items I can get installed on my MINI for less than $250....
1. Formula 1 Tint job (all windows) by LA Tint
2. Pulley
3. Exhaust
4. Rear fog light
5. CAI or HDI
6. OCC
7. etc
8. etc

what a joke!

thanks for the heads up..I was going to contact David about a re-do for my roof graphic....now, I don't think I will. Again, I recommend Speed Design in White Marsh if you haven't found anyone more local. They installed a whole-roof graphic for $85....as a caveat tho', mine was 3 years ago, so their prices might have gone up...

Did David mention how much a roof graphic install was if they made the vinyl?

I called him today to see if he could assist in a white sunroof vinyl install after Daveoc and I got overwhelmed by the de-structions. The factory instructions say 1/2 hour - David couldn't fit me in today. I didn't get a price quote.

I don't know...... We want to black out all the chrome, wrap the roof, mirrors, and spoiler in black and he is asking $1000.00 I am not sure if that is a good price. I put an email into Speedesign. That is a hike though.

That's really nice of you!

So how many miles do you get to the stout?

Well, it depends if I give him a Draught or Stout. Then there is the whole nut thing, Don't even get me started.
