Carbon Fiber Roof (Overlay)

Carbon Fiber Roof

Just started the project today.

We stripped everything off first.






Then wrapped it around with tapes!



Sand off original paint!


Painted black!


Measured the carbon fiber material.






Applied Resins!






Then we'll cut the sides off tomorow once it dries up!
Then apply clear coats!!

What do you guys think?
What a day!!

Interesting project you've got there. Not sure if the overall cost would justify everything, as there are other options out there, but to each their own, kudos to you.

the carbon fiber roof looks sweet. like the new m3.
