Roof vinyl

Hi everyone. Needs some assistance. I'm getting my roof wrapped next week but need some options at what vinyl would look best. I have a Sedona red 1er. I was going to go with glossy cf but I still haven't figured it out.

Any option would look good. I have an AW and I did mine regular gloss black and I love it. If I went with CF, I would prefer to have other components like the side mirror caps wrapped CF as well to get a theme going. There are plenty of pics online to give you a better visual. Happy searching

My USD $0.02: Gloss black. Flat black looks odd with the shiny black sunroof. Vinyl CF looks like vinyl, not CF.

I'm going to go with the gloss black vinyl it matches my window trim. The only cf things I'm planing to get is the cf lip spoiler and diffuser all in carbon. Thanks fellas

Gloss black is the way I'd go. Like someone else mentioned, CF wrap doesn't look like actual CF... CF wrap looks like CF wrap.

Yeah I figured it would look tacky. Gloss black looks so good.
