Wow, looks really good. I didn't think I would be a fan of the carbon fiber roof overlay, but you've changed my mind. The overall design of your G is indefinitely what makes it work. Thumbs up here.

Here is the site, maybe he could point you in the right direction so you could get enough people to buy a roll, 50 metres will do 40 roofs (a good return if you do the maths). He could also send out individual orders in cardboard tubes i guess.

They also do carbon wrapping. Check the gallery.

At some angle it looks almost flat black. I like i would just say get a carbon hood and trunk and your set also tint the windows to give it a darker look at the top.

Wow, I really like it, unless for some reason it looks bad in person. I'm a big fan on the whole car in general. Looking good man.

It looks good, but I would prefer it in gloss if it had been my car. Maybe that's what's leaving you undecided?
