What's the roof and front bumper under the grill cost to wrap? I got my GS a few weeks ago and would love to do this. Need to get the spoiler redone anyway. Wrap has a small tear on one corner. With the roof being a large flat surface, under good light can you tell its a wrap? Thinking gloss black might show even a slight imperfection. Has anyone tried the carbon fiber design to look like the RCF roof? Or does it not really look like real carbon fiber?

A black roof reminds me [way] too much of the Kia Optima.

Ehh. There's alot of high end cars that have a black roof. Mary are carbon fiber or black because they have a panoramic roof. A wrap seems like a reasonable solution to obtain the same look.

I personally don't want my Lexus roof to resemble some other car maker's roof...especially a Kia's roof.

If you are going nebula grey I might recommend carbon fibre wrap as a nicer option than gloss black. I have seen another member post photos a while back and it was looking sweet. Far better than glossy black IMHO.

I Pm'd you back. The cost of the front wrap was $50 or $70 can't recall, I know someone. The roof wrap looks good as long as you take care of it. I didn't do it to my white GS and probably won't.

Can someone please let me know what the size of the roof is in feet?
(Length by width, so i can get full coverage) I don't yet have my GS so i can't measure :/
VViViD vinyl has a massive 35% off today only for their carbon fiber vinyl..
