I prolly wold have only wrapped the grill part n painted the bowtie black...still looks pretty cool like that though.

You got any pics of your roof wrapped?? I've been thinking about wrapping mine. Mine's black with a CF hood, too - interested to see how it looks.

Thanks...how much extra did you have after wrapping the roof?? You went with the 60x48 right?

I wanna wrap the roof, but I got some other ideas too - just need to know if I should get a bigger piece or if there will be enough extra to work for me.

Awesome! I've been thinking about doing the center bar with black vinyl. You separate the grille from the bumper, correct?

hmmm, idea; 10/10. execution; 7/10 i think the bowtie could have been done a wee bit better. and imo i would have wrapped it with the weave going in a different direction. unless youre up close i bet it looks like you just took a piece of cf and wrapped it all together. still like it though

:/ Not sure how I feel on that one, I think I would like it better if the bowtie was not wrapped. It does go well with the hood though, you should try wrapping the lower part of the bumper in CF too. Is that the stuff you were gonna wrap the roof in?
