Love the look of the new models with the pano roofs and also love the carbon roofs on the M3s. I think the contrast looks great on lighter colored cars. Thought I would do a gloss black wrap to try and get a similar look. I think it turned out pretty good. It was only a couple hundred bucks so if I get tired of it I'll just tear it off....

 

Looks pretty cool.

 

That was actually pretty cool!

 

TCZ - I've been contemplating on wrapping my roof too. But I can't figure out how to make the wrap around the sunroof opening. There is a rubber seal around the opening - I can either stop the wrap right up to the seal or wrap over it. How did you do it? I am afraid if I just trim the wrap right up to the seal it will start to peel later. But if I wrap over it it might rub against the sunroof...That's why I haven't done it.

 

Very nice. Gloss black was the right choice.

 

I had a pro do it. The sunroof was done separately. The wrap does not cover the seal. He did say that he was a bit concerned about the seal around the opening and how much friction it would cause on the vinyl when the sunroof was sliding..... He said they often trim that piece but I told him not to for now. We'll see how it holds up....

 

Nice!

 

had this done on my M3, but not sure I want it on my Guards Red 997. Why didn't they do the rails?

 

agree, rails needed to be done as well, looks to narrow without it, nice but would have looked better with rails.

 

Looks great! Wraps are definitely the best.

 

Hmm. I would have liked the width but didn't think they would look good because they aren't flat....

 

plasti dip, if it doesn't look good you can also peel it off.

 

Update: I ended up having a local expert do mine in carbon fiber from Vvivid, 3M black gloss for the sunroof. I plasti-dipped rails. He ended up trimming it with knifeless tape around the sunroof gasket and used edge sealer to hold it down. Apparently I got the older Vvivid stuff that was more difficult to work because of its thickness, luckily I didn't try to do it on my own.

Black mirrors is a must with a black roof tho!
