Default roof wrap on black car

Hi,

I always wanted a different colour roof on my car but all my previous cars suited a black roof.

Now I have a black car (obsidian), I still want to wrap the roof but not sure what colour would suit.

I have had a look but cant find any pictures which are of use i.e. black Lexus different coloured roof.

Has anyone done this or can point me in the right direction for pictures? and yes, I have gone through the gallery as much as I can before I got bored.

Thanks
Tom

Personally, I wouldnt wrap a roof anything other than black or CF.

Both of which I dont think will stand out too well on a black car

Snake is awesome! that being said, dont do it. lol Show cars only haha

That being said, on a black car carbon wrap is the only wrap i would recommend. If you were to do some off color look you would have to do the hood also.

Thanks for the replies.

Think it might be the carbon wrap then if I do it just not convinced that anything else will look good.

Trouble is, I have always been a fan if a cf bonnet/hood but on a black car, both woul be too much in thinking.

Out of either, what is the general consensus on what woul be better as I am leaning towards the cf hood.

I would leave it the way it is and save the money for other mods

If you are just talking about CF wrap (and not comparing getting CF roof wrap with a real CF hood) then i'd say stick with the roof wrap, not the hood.
