my carbon fiber roof spoiler just came in..thinking I want to do the carbon fiber black 3m wrap on my roof...and smoke the tailights as well..probably next week.
any maintenance issues with the wrap....car wash issues...will it come off clean or damage the paint if I want to remove it. My F stays in the garage when the weather doesn't cooperate so no worries with that.

I bought mine used with a full Matte black wrap. It's pretty cool and a pretty good attention grabber. Wiill prolly take it off soon.
