I agree with the bubbling statement, that's why I am going to ask my painter what he thinks.

Will follow this thread as I have thought about wrapping or painting the edges of the transparent top on my 2014.

After much research (from local wrap places) and help from forum members, I decided to go the painted route. I dropped it off at the painter this morning, should have it back in a few days, will post pictures of prior and post of the job.

That looks great, it really changes the overall look.

They should give us that as an option when purchasing. You can get Carbon fiber top with color matched edges.

Forget the option. This is exactly how the top should be made.

I agree now it doesn't look like an after thought.
