Default More vinyl CF work

Got the roof done in the 3M Di-Noc vinyl and the chrome trim around the windows in flat black. The roof looks amazing when light hits it. I'll post better pics later. Was busy with a photoshoot all day so I haven't had a chance to take outdoor shots yet.









^ the last shot makes the CF weave look weird only because the weave pattern gets distorted when you shrink the image.




^ Closeup shot outdoors. (shot isn't color corrected yet...)

damn. if you sprayed about 5-7 coats of clear coat on that roof, you will fool EVERYONE for having the only CF roof on a ISF.

Not sure if its only me, but this fake CF wrap is like the new rice or something. Yeah it was something nice for the interior but now people are doing it all over the car's exterior. I rather have a black glossy vinyl cover then the fake CF wrap cause it cheapens the look of the car due to the one area of matte like material.

If you want CF, spend the money and get it covered... I can hear it already, "What if I just want it for now and later I want to take it off"

Well show me where I can buy a real CF roof then because I would much rather have a real CF roof than this wrap. And tacking on a CF cover is more "ricer" than a wrap to me.

I kinda like it. But is it hard to maintain? I really wonder how durable that type of material is when exposed to sunlight.
