My Carbon Fiber wrapped Targa Top with Pics

Hey guys I just picked up my newly wrapped targa top and wanted to share some pics with yall. A local design shop bought the vinyl wrap and wrapped my top for $150. I'm not yet ready to spend money on a real carbon fiber top but I am extremely happy with this wrap. The finish is gloss carbon. Here are a few pics let me know what yall think.

Looks really good and at a price that pales in comparison to what a real CF top would cost.

Looks good, real bang for the buck. Not much you can do today with a buck and a half.

I'd get them to wrap your spoiler as well, or front lip (can't see if they are already). I feel carbon always looks better when applied to few a trim parts (within reason), rather than 1 part being an outlier.
