Clear Bra on Carbon Fiber Roof?

Has anyone had clear bra installed on their carbon fiber roof? I'm probably getting the front bumper and hood done, was thinking if it's worth also doing it on the roof, so I'm curious if anyone else out there has.

I did about 10 to 12 inches as well. Used Xpel and looks pretty seamless or non-existant

I have Xpel installed on the entirety of the cf roof. To me, it's worth it as I don't have to worry about any rock chips or swirl marks that will eventually occur over time.

Getting my entire roof done in Xpel Ultimate. I do not want to get out one day and see a chip in the CF.
