Default Carbon Fiber Roof!

Ok, not exactly, but it's carbon fiber vinyl! It's one of those things you have to see/touch to really believe. You'd be hard pressed to tell that it's actually not real cf, even after you see/watch it being put on right in front of you.

Had a couple of people at a recent meet ask me to post pictures of the carbon fiber vinyl I was talking about.

I took these pictures for my friend, after he wrapped the roof of our buddy's car.













Let me know how the pictures look, hopefully the carbon fiber weave came out clear enough in the pictures.

it's not shiny

I kind of agree, but it really depends on the style of which the car is modded.

Everyone already knows what a gloss black roof looks like, but it gives me a good excuse to post this picture I took :P
