Carbon Fiber roof vinyl.

I have a 2014 GSR for DD. i have a SSL version with sun roof. I dont like the look of the sunroof on white roof, so i though this would be a good idea to tone it down a bit the contrast

i hope you guys agree with my idea. it was cheap and my friend did it in 2 hours.

with the white roof:




and with the vinyl on

why not gloss if trying to "tone" it down a bit?

Looking nice!
Do these CF wraps on the roof last w/ the weather?
And, is this same 3M wrap used for interior panels?

I've been thinking about those recorders too. HKS looks awesome!

i am working with special wall-coverings , special high end interior designs, so as restorations. (like church's- paintings etc.)

so i got used to do things which needs some special attention and other details etc.

dont stretch it

Heat will not help, in case if you heat gunned it.
