Thinking of wrapping trunk,roof and etc. in black carbon fiber wrap. Let me know what guys think. The grill and chrome around windows are painted black now.

My $.02 the wrapped roof looks good, not sure about all three. Since there are good options for real CF hoods/trunks I'm not sure

well you may want to look into the prices of the wrap since that will take quite a bit of $$ because of the amt of area you are trying to cover. When you wrap the roof do black, not carbon fiber. Its about $200 to wrap our car's roofs with black, CF vinyl will be WAY more. Its about 5 bucks a sq. ft. unless you buy online.

Why not just buy a cf trunk or hood?

yup, i do have a wrapped roof. was DI-NOC, switched to 1080. if there was a pre-made roof cf cap available for the sedan i would've done that instead, like i did for the hood and trunk.

if you have your heart set on cf vinyl, just wrap the roof. if you want more accents to tie it to your theme, wrap the lower sills you painted white, as they'll be easier wrap since they're painted. also wrap some of your interior bits.
