Roof Wrap
My car is White color (077) with Sun roof. So, just planning to wrap roof with black color 3M.
Please share your opinion which choice is better between " Gloss Black " and " Carbon Fiber 3M "?

Third that Glossy black. Unless you plan to wrap other parts of your exterior.

the CF wrap would look great if there are other parts that are CF as well, like the door pillars, trunk, hood, body kit, etc. but the gloss black looks best otherwise.

Glossy black. The fake CF on your roof just looks tacky IMO.

CF wrap is a fad that you will regret after a couple months. Go with the gloss black.

if you're talking about the outer edge/trim of the roof, then yes.

Yup, I believe it's called a roof or rain gutter. It needs to be wrapped otherwise it won't flow.

i had mine done along with the window trim. if you have dark tint and your doing a black roof, your chrome window trim will stick out like a sore thumb
