Beautiful. Guess I'm going black.

Lx-mode made 3 pieces of gloss carbon roof. Its much better look than wrap. You can opti coat or wax it. And three pieces can package into one small box for saving shipping cost. I hope that someone should make them for cheaper price. I am saving money for this to replace my 3M 1080 carbon roof wrap.

This is mine with a matte black roof after we wrapped it.

We'll have to take your word for it.

I did mine the other way around. I wrapped all matte white but left the roof and half of the front lip Raven.

Probably a stupid question. But if one were to do the entire roof replace, could you delete the damned antenna by doing this. I really want that GOD awful thing gone. I haven't turned on my radio in 18 months and I don't have navi. So it is a completely useless eyesore imo. I've got a buddy that's CF crazy(has a full carbon Z he did himself) and could probably get the labor pretty cheap. Any thoughts?

If you're ok with having a soft spot in the roof where there's nothing for the vinyl to attach to, sure.

The antenna has a threaded post that goes through the roof, into the cabin.

Theoretically, yes you can do this. But I think you'll have a hard time finding a roof replacement that doesn't already have a cutout for the antenna.

If you are going to replace a roof filling that hole would be the easiest part.

I was thinking of having one made up. Something in Carbon fiber would look nice IMO.

Anyone else having a good or bad experience with Seibon wet Carbon Fiber overlay? My roof got damaged in hail and instead of replacing it, I decided to get the overlay. Just saw some negative opinions and im getting nervous...

From Japan. Its a good way to cover up dents from roof.
