Black roof
I've got a sweet deal on getting my roof dressed up in black film. My detailer wanted to have a reference car, showing what he is capable of doing. I think I'll let him do it, if I don't like it, I can always take it off.
He could also use carbon fibre look film, but that's too much M3 wannabe. I'll pick black, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna take glossy or matte finish? What do you guys think? |

whenever you get it done please post pics. seeing the black 335 transform from black to white was impressive. Thinking this is the same type of material. Really interested in how it looks and cost.

What kind of materials are used?
Is it the same kind of film used for tinted windows? Is it guaranteed to be resistant to sun's heat, heavy rain, etc and for approx. how long?

Very nice pics !!! These are off a German car as far as i can see...
Where did you find them online? Any high-res pics available? It would be nice to get a feedback from the owner of this car to know if this roof was painted in black or if they used one of these black films.... Good spot!

Fake carbon fiber roof sounds terrible Also I find it odd that most ppl are reccomending glossy considering a matte finish is much more sporty...I think a light gloss would be best, I'm interested in what you are paying too, black roof overlays for 135i are going for $85

Interesting effect. I don't hate it like I was expecting to.
I think matte would look too much like it was just sun damaged, especially on a roof. You're right about the CF. If it's not real it's pathetic.
