had mine done in CF a while back, wasn't as classy as the gloss black. If they don't install it right, the pattern can make the roof look dented in. Go with gloss for a classier look.

Concerned the gloss will get destroyed by Florida sun and rain after this summer. Heard nothing but bad things about the gloss with fading and awful scratches after a little while

i ordered both cf and gloss. not sure which i wanna run though. the cf weave i was recomended is really nice on my friends frs, so leaning more towards that.

I've seen cf wraps on several different cars... Imo it looks cheap. It def looks less appealing than the gloss black. However, if you have several cf exterior items it may look in place.

There was a car for sale that was entirely cf wrapped. Although it sounds cool it look dirty and cheap. Could be the quality of the wrap and installer.

entirely cf wrapped seems a bit much imo. currently i have cf lips except in the rear so i was thinking it would look alright. and the weave is dark so you can only tell close up. but if i dont like it ill just remove it and replace with the gloss black.
