Roof & Stinger Painted in Carbon Flash
I just picked up my C7 from Bracken Collision in San Antonio. They painted the roof, section between roof and back glass and stinger stripe in carbon flash. I had them do the stinger stripe around the hood vents for a slightly different look than the factory stripe.....Pics attached

Very nice set of CF accents, although I like the hash marks and had them on my Camaro, I'd prolly remove them to keep the car strictly two tones.....I'd also CF the flags and Vette letters.....

Your car BUD,The caliper color is helping the stripe a little.I understand being different to.If it works for you...the hell with guys like me Just notice the wrap on hood.Tell ya the truth didn't notice till separate photo.I like your thinking on the roof,why pay for CF roof? Can't tell from 10 ft. away,but the look is their!

All chrome on the car will be plasti dipped except for the exhaust tips.
There is a forum vendor selling custom black emblems but they are $350!!! I'll wait to buy black oem in the fall for $100 when Z06 parts become available.

Looks way better how they followed the body lines around the vent like that.

Initially I really liked this mod but the more I look at it the more I think the black breaks up the lines of the car, it almost get's to be too black. I would love to see it in person. My thought is to paint the roof only. Most white care are coming with black roofs these days. I saw a new Merc, a new F Type and a Hyundai all in white with their roof painted black.
