CF roof wrap on DGM?

hey guys, so i have a dgm brz and i am debating if i should wrap the roof with vinyl carbon fiber. I can go to precision dynamix to get the job done. The problem is im not sure what much of a difference it would make on the DGM. If someone who has a DGM brz, please post pictures! Thanks

I don't think there'll be enough contrast on DGM for it to look good.

In the right lighting it would look good. But rest of the time. You won't be able to tell.
