Oh no mang.. if you check my previous posts, I had a pic of my roof sanded, and painted in black. That white spot you see is not white, it's probably glare from the silver weave of the carbon fiber. plus i have a crappy camera. so... yeah..

^^Ahhh.. Mine was just clear resin just like regular with NO tint. But the roof was sanded down first and based with black paint. Took a lot of sanding to get it into a nicer shade!

whats with the the black strip or is that a shadow ? I got the fiber in but Im still waiting for the resins. I hate the fact that you have to pull the glass to do this. How are the edges done around the sunroof ? Do you have to pull the headliner ? JDM_G35 400 sounds cheap to pull the glass and lay the fiber and reinstall.

yeah considering to pull the glass and put it back was `150, plus materials were around 250 and the fact that my UNCLE was doing it.

still, he didnt listen to what i said, he didnt spray the roof black first!!!!!

now what do i do? do i take off the cf? or lay another layer on top of that one. help.

I did the same thing when I put a layer of CF over my strut bar. I took it off, painted it and started over. It came out 100X better. If you do a second layer it will hide 95%+ of the spots and look a lot better.
