Default Vinyl Roof Wrapping on Nebula Gray Pearl? Costs?

Wish I had a white car but i dont, so I want to vinyl wrap my roof and sharkfin on my NGP, not sure if i should go with gloss black or gloss carbon fiber. Not sure what would even look good with NGP. Any pictures would be great! Doesnt even have to be an IS or Lexus, any car will work (although Lexus preferred).

How much did everyone pay? I was quoted $150 for gloss black and $180 for carbon fiber, both 3M products, for the roof and shark fin in Orange County/Southern California with three month warranty.

If i were to go with the carbon fiber wrap, should i wrap the moon roof the same color too..?

This guys build thread of his 3Gen IS has a carbon fiber vinyl roof wrap on his NGP. Looks pretty good I think but I'd rather go with gloss black. Those prices are really good too. Wish I can find a place in Washington for a $150 gloss black roof wrap.

I'd personally go for black; I find carbon fiber roofs a bit tacky (unless it's an M). Where did you get quoted for 150? Everyone I talked to asked for $200

I was skeptical on the gloss black myself. But i actually love it and compliments the NGP. I havea picture posted on my thread but i could take a better one.

They're tinted with film. I didnt want to spray anything over the lights.

may i ask what kind of film you or the person tint it with? Theres so many on the market. By any chance, do you know if it affects the brake light by a lot? I also do not want to end up getting rear ended and the first thing they blame is the tinted lights

you'd get pulled over so fast for having tinted taillights, especially that dark
