Gloss Wrapped Roof

Thoughs? Had carbon fiber wrap initially but thought the gloss matches up better. Doing the carbon fiber rockers next month and figured that would finish off the look.

Gloss so much better than the faux CF look. Great job.

Looks great, although I think you should also wrap the red piece that separates the roof from the rear window so it appears seamless!

Car looks great! But I dont see what was wrapped? Dosent the top come in a tinted black, body color, or carbon fiber?

Thanks!

I am doing just that on my DSOM Z when it arrives and going just a bit further by also doing the rail just behind the lid. With the stinger, I am hoping for the continuous look right to where the rear hatch windshield stops...oh also tinting the windows as well.

The top comes in body color, carbon fiber or transparent roof, but does not come in a black flash or solid roof with any other color option.

Hey! That was my idea and stated above. Can I ask a favor when you do? Can you get a shot from a bit of height front left of the car so it shows the completed work? There is also someone who did the entire roof black and it looks amazing...saw it on a white car.

Looks fantastic, like real paint or transparent roof. What brand wrap is it?

IMO the red/body color looks better. Gives the red on the hatch something to flow into, otherwise it just abruptly stops, which I've always thought looks odd. Would look better with the roof side spears kept red. But that's just MHO, and it sure looks like you did a nice job on the wrap. Appears well done.
