Thanks for the compliments guys! Here is another picture but I'll try to take some better ones from farther away later on today.
The carbon fiber vinyl I purchase from ebay in a pretty large roll because of the length of the trim and because they curve you need about 18" wide per side. My oem vinyl was looking pretty bad so I used a heat gun and pulled it off before putting the carbon fiber. it's been there about 2 years now and still looks great.

A few more of mine, still a lot of work to do
I see you're all talking about black roofs, that was the first thing I did when I bought my car. Took it and got a vinyl

Ohhhhh that's not vinyl wraped? Why did I think you vinyl wrapped it that's odd, anyhow I was going to ask if you modified your roof to full tinted glass! Lol cuzz that's what it looks like! I was going to say DAM! If that's vinyl wrap! YOU DID AMAZING! That black GS I've wanted for a few months, not permanently obviousllyyyyyyy c'mon....... But for a week or two would be cool, was in the range of about $200 and maybe what, 6 hours? But no... Never mind, it's painted. Anyhow got the point across, thanks a lot for posting those pics man appreciate it. I'm stumped on what to do really.... Besides knowing I can't leave this ugly bubbling clear coat! thanks bro! Looks good!
