Hmm I'd say don't unless you are planning on doing more than the roof or have more cf parts.

If your gonna do more than the roof go with it. Ive seen some cars with it done and it looks good. especially on dark color cars.

Any plans for the hood and trunk too? That would look sick.

if your going to be doing the other cf wraps, then the roof would go along perfectly with it

If you can safely remove the vinyl, why not? CF is badass!

Do your roof, Do your grill, do your pillars, and buy an oem gfx kit and wrap that too. That would look sick. Maybe cf roof spoiler hood n trunk. That was my cf vision for the is, but i decieded to take a different route.

Make sure it'll last on the exterior first. Search the guy that did it and see if it's holding up.
