Default AW Coupe Carbon Flash Roof Pic Request Please

Has anyone wrapped an AW roof and halo in carbon flash? If so would you mind sharing a pic?

The thing is, the C7 doesn't really have a "halo" like the old C6's. There is just a small strip behind the roof. The quarter windows eliminate the continuation down the the quarters and the car is no longer a hatchback. The only thing to tie in is the small strip behind the roof.

Roger that.
I think "halo" was used just as a quick descriptive to get to the area of interest.

I am considering wrapping the white roof and white strip/halo between the roof and rear window full-width (no white edges).

Roof is the clear one, I just wrapped the halo, I'm still deciding on the rear hatch

I like how you did your car. Best way to tie it all together (roof, rear glass).

Here is a stingray. You may need to black out more than you described.
I think this is flat black and a transparent top as well.
With the picture above you see both ways. Short spears look good also.
