Advice needed!

Thinking of adding matte black vinly wrap roof, CF mirror covers and CF front lip.

Do you think the CF will go ok with the mostly black/plat bronze car?



Thanks!

Do it, it would look good. I would suggest you go with a gloss black vinyl on the roof though.

What about the CF front lip and mirror covers? Now im thinking of having the mirrors wrapped when i have the roof done...wish i could find a matte black front lip.

The gloss black would look good too i think, just trying to keep the roof matching with my wheels.

if you not wrapping the entire car, gloss for the roof. If you do decide to wrap the entire car, matte black is the classic and proven solution.
Good luck!

I think it will look fine. Carbon fiber from 20 feet looks like a solid dark grey anyway. I am a big fan on flat or matte black tho.

i only said gloss black because i feel matte black would look off with the roof because the sunroof is shiny. this weekend will be doing gloss black interior trim, roof, roof spoiler, mirror caps, grills, and splitters soon
