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.

They charged me £200/$320 including materials and labour. They lay the sheet on oversized and then trim the edges pushing the edges right down into the drip channel.
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?
