CF Roof vinyl wrap?

So I plan on ordering a YMB M3 with silver 19s and of course the CF Roof. I've seen some photos recently where the CF Roof doesn't look so good with this setup, but I don't want to add all of the weight of the moonroof. Black wheels would help a lot, but I don't really like the black wheels with YMB.

How would it look if I vinyl wrapped the roof in matte blue metallic? (closest match to YMB I could find)

The color won't be a perfect match, will this look terrible? I plan on leasing, not sure if I can have the roof painted? Should I take the no-cost route and just get the body-matched roof w/ moonroof?

Any thoughts/advice is appreciated.

I think vinyl wrap trying to match will look just like that (vinyl trying to match). If you don't like the CF roof, get the sunroof. Unless you plan on tracking it, does a little extra weight up top matter and there are plenty of cars at the track with sunroofs (my E46 M3 included).

I think the CF roof looks good on YMB. Vinyl would look terrible.

Wrapping a cf roof is a mortal sin.

You have an awesome option in the sunroof if you want, than wrap the roof black. I like the cf on the blue a lot. Your call tho, but since you asked that's my $0.02

That color won't match YMB.. In certain light YMB looks dull and that vinyl would be a bright contrast

Leave the CF roof alone, it will look amazing.

Wheel color is irrelevant.

+1. If you must, spring for a matching paint job in lieu of wrap, but it IS a sin!

It will look horrible. I'm sorry to say this.
