Thinking of a DYI project of wrapping the roof and halo of my BS GS in carbon flash metallic. Here is the question - how hard is it to do and where do I get the matching CF material? Anyone have pictures of this on their cars? Any suggestions and or opinions would be helpful. Thanks

This is what I used, of course you would need full width of roof. 3M 1080 GP292 GLOSS GALAXY BLACK 5ft x 2ft (10 sq/ft) Car Wrap Vinyl Film $31.00
3m offers their gloss black metallic in High Gloss now, 8 year film and installs great. Also has a protective cap you peel off after installation to avoid scratching it. Really nice stuff, its our go to for anything carbon flash and its a pretty good match imo.
I'd also recommend getting felt squeegee and some Triple S application spray. Check out the wrap institute for some good videos to get you started.
I did this on my white C7, then liked it so much I also had the sides of my clear top painted to match. Was easy to wrap and looked awesome. I miss that car!
This was the clear top with painted sides:
And this was the hard top with black wrap on the top center:
