Here is what it looks like.

Still, you will have to choose which wrap you'd like because there is a big difference in foils and structure + gloss or matt finishes.

my roof is black... just to give you an idea of the contrast. I think it looks great with dark wheels and matching diffuser.

My recommendation is look at 3m 1080 or Avery brands.

Also keep this in mind... The wrap is something that is somewhat criticized a bit more than you're typical paint job. Folks come up to my car and either act surprised or give me to "oh...thats a wrap" they get 2 inches from my car and start looking at imperfections (it's pretty annoying). Then it goes down the justification conversation for wrapping vs painting. If you put on CF I can see your conversation going down the "hey how did you get a CF roof..." and when you reply its a wrap then they may criticize it negatively. I've already had folks on this forum make remarks.

The gloss black looks awesome its very deep if you decide to go with a color vs a texture.

I have samples from 3M 1080 series, Hexis, Avery Denisson and Vvivid.

If you want to go for a gloss CF look Vvivid seems the only option out of these.

If not concerned with a brand for your wrap just google Carbon Wrap 5D. (the 5D is the newest one and gives almost the same depth as genuine glossy CF)

also just found this on ali baba: http://carbins.en.alibaba.com/produc...ber_vinyl.html

Let me know which one you're taking
