Need Advise- CF or Matte Black Roof??

Mehale · 09-20-2011, 03:49 PM

Hey Everyone,

Sorry in advanced for some over-sized photos.

I'm going to be getting my Roof Vinyl'd shortly however I'm torn between Carbon Fiber and Matte Black Roof.

I have a Vorsteiner Hood that is arriving this weekend which I will follow the typical route of painting the car color (Sparkling Graphite) and leaving the vents Carbon Fiber

Not my car, taken from a forum thread to illustrate a Vorsteiner Lip and Hood Combo. Car below even has a Matte Black Roof from the looks of things. Too bad its not my color car to find out whats best:

With the Vorsteiner hood and the Vorsteiner front lip I feel the CF is justifiable as an option but I don't wanna go CF overkill. Not to mention everyone will ask me if its real CF and I'll have to say "No." like a chump.

Current picture of the car below:

Personally, I'm not a fan of doing a CF vinyl. If you're going for the look, I'd do matte.

Is your grills and window trim matte black? If it is I'd suggest matte black to match them.

i have an e90 sgm sedan with black rims and everything else blacked out. i think that it would look best with a matte black roof.

matte black > CF.

There is a group buy being done by ACM Roof Vinyl's. I will be getting it done there. Its a bit of a hike but they did my interior trim vinyling and it is absolutely sick. Their work is superb.

You have any mods done to your car?? I wonder if I've seen you around.

This. Fake CF is, just that, fake. Matte black with a gloss sunroof

My opinion, of course
