Default Viewable Carbon Fibre roof and dark colors.

I think the carbon fibre roof is really sharp. I am getting Night Race Blue which, in my opinion, will not show the color side pieces or the carbon fibre as well as lighter colors. Does it become invisible? My question does it add to the car in a dark color or should I forget it?
Seriously

Up close, you will obviously see the CF. However, from not too far away it will probably start to look like a painted roof that mismatches your car depending on the lighting (NRB can be quite blue or black depending on the lighting).

As said above, you will not notice the difference from a distance on a dark car, but on a light car you will easily notice it from afar.

My black M3 had a CF roof and you couldn't tell from more than a few feet away. I would have not chosen it if it cost anything (it didn't).

As with all other CF roof models, M6/ZR1, etc., it blends into black and seems superfluous (especially if it costs extra). However, on lighter colors, it certainly stands out and completes the look (if you like such contrast).
