Roof Wrap Thread

Lets see the Balts out there that have wrapped, painted or plasti dipped their roofs, like with Glossy Black, DI-NOC Carbon Fiber, REAL Carbon Fiber, or what ever you have done to your roof!

FOR THE RECORD i just measured yesterday because i wanna do this mod

the roof is about 50" by 40" so if you get that much material you should have just a smidge (few inches tops) left over

cuz i know ppl are gonna be asking this lol

I have a carbon fiber front lip, cf hood, cf trunk, and cf ceterbar on high rise wing. Should I get a glossy black roof? Or the fake cf?

Idk what to do with the antenna, but if you find out be sure to post. And I don't know if the fake cf would go good with the real cf. andysautosport.com has the lip

this stuff right?

This product simulates the look of carbon fiber used on auto and motorcycles, also consumer electronics. the possibilities are endless.

DECALFX.com! Carbon Fiber Vinyl! Flexible, Stretchable, Low cost, high quality vinyl film overlay sheets! For hoods, custom interior trim moulding! 3M Di-Noc Dinoc wrap

I still cant figure out what i want to do. Definitely doing the roof, and want to figure out if I want to do the middle of the hood/whole hood and/or the trunk. Also, cant decide, plastidip (gun), gloss black vinyl, CF vinyl.
