    Roof Wrap: Black Gloss/Matte/Carbon Fiber ??

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Anyone performed a roof wrap?

    I'm looking to do a roof wrap and looking for any feedback. I'm leaning towards black gloss versus black carbon fiber. Being new to the ATL... still trying to find local tuners to get more insight for cost estimates. So far range appears to be $200-$250... Is this a reasonable rate for GA?

    I like mine: 3M 1080 brushed black metallic, while the rest of the car is 3M 1080 Brushed Steel.

    Black gloss is the best to blend with Front and rear windshields

    Yeah sold on the black gloss... after reviewing a Google and forum members... I was worried it would takeaway from the stock appeal...

    Thanks for the feedback everyone... now time to get some quotes...

    Id go gloss black. You know that it will look good. The other options won't look bad, but fake carbon CAN look less than great!

    Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has had their roof wrapped recently. I'm considering wrapping the roof in gloss black.

    Found a few more examples in here https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...ight=roof+wrap.

    Thanks. Don't believe they make the exact wheel anymore, but they are HRE P44SC (21 x 9.5).

    You have a great looking car man! That pic is convincing me to wrap the roof.

    Just recently had mine done in gloss black to try and keep a "stock" look but also update the car. If you have the black trim and tinted windows it blends really well. I was charged around $250 for mine, done with an Avery vinyl.

    I just did mine in 3M matte black carbon. I'll redo it as it isn't perfect and I am going to pull the antenna to do it properly. Took 6 feet of material and to do it the right way, now that I learned, will probably take me 2-3hrs
