CF targa top

So I have 2 targa tops, one the tinted acrylic top, and the other the factory body color painted roof.
I bought the car with Carbon Fiber wrap on the cross over bar, and prefer the look of the acrylic top with the CF.

I had a thought and decided since I'll likely never use the painted top on the car, I had it wrapped in CF as well to match the cross over bar.

I kinda like it...atleast theres more chance I'll use the top like this than not, what do you guys think?

Love it, my painted top has some damage from the previous owner and I have been thinking of doing the exact same thing. Cheaper than repainting too!

If you search 3M 1080 on Amazon, you'll find a myriad of sizes. There's a huge sheet that should be large enough for the roof. Less than $100.

I was able to do mine for 30.00 in material.
That included: roof, halo, A pillar, door sills, fuel door and door handles.

I think the CF looks good with the blue.
Makes the car darker.

my car already had the halo done, I got the roof done by a professional tint, and decal shop locally where I live $150 for the top material, and done with a warranty...
I thought it was a good deal considering...
