Default Carbon Fiber roof wrap from Aerotect

I've been debating about blacking out my roof for a long time, but when I learned that Aero Tect started selling the 3M Matte Carbon fiber vinyl, I decided to give it a try. They did an awesome job with the installation, and made sure the rain gutter pieces were wrapped and matched the rest of the roof. Here is what I came out with.

1.


2.


3.


I also decided to wrap the rear lip that others have painted. Only problem I am having is that the heat from the exhaust is causing the wrap to peel in the exhaust ports.

4.


5.


Overall, I like the look. I'm debating about doing this to other parts. Thanks for looking!They

Lol no worries, you should do it too, you'd like it. I wish I had thought about it and done it sooner.

If they had a wet looking CF I'd do it in a heartbeat.

IMO that material isn't going to last at all on the outside.

Roof and rear look awesome. Looks like they did a great job. I agree with iSuxel, not sure how well the material will last in heat & rain. Nonetheless, it looks good.
