Are you talking about a wrap or an actual carbon fiber roof? I have thought about it, doing the wrap. But it must be boku bucks to do an actual carbon roof.

That depends, do you want it to Blend, or Stand out?

It will look kind of like this, sort of goes either way depending on the light.

A real roof? Yes. However, over on the JDM side of the tuning world, some companies made a CF skin that you attached over the existing roof. It was basically a sheet of resined, hard shinny CF, cut to the shape of your roof. I came close to getting one for my Subaru, and my friend has one on his 350Z.

If only a company did it for us, because I think it would look great.
