Roof Wrap Color Recommendations

Hey guys,
I'm kinda torn between two different kinds of wraps.

1) one is a black gloss wrap.
2) second is a metallic gloss wrap - 3M 1080 G212.

Has anyone had experience with this wrap? It's hard for me to tell which one would like better since you only get see it with a small sample.

What about CF wrap?

Let me know. Appreciate the comments.

Thanks,
Go Cubs.

Go with a new gloss black. The carbon wraps won't match the factory clear coat. Some of the new color wraps are pretty amazing

Thanks for the information.

is New gloss Black as specific color or is that the same as just gloss black from 3M?

Thanks

sweet, i saw so many samples. It's different to see it as a sample book instead actually on the car.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm going to do the gloss black for the roof. I thought about CF but the car doesn't even come with it so I didn't want to be a fake carbon fiber roof lol when all my friends have other M cars with the real roof.

Good call

This is the same as adding M style mirror caps when it doesn't have M mirrors lol
