hey everyone last week i was at my local performance shop and i saw a pretty sexy m3 with a dust carbon fiber roof and i was thinking about getting a sheet to put on my roof (i have a white 05 mr). some of the sample pics online make the cars look pretty sick, i was just curious what other people think, if you saw it on the street would you say "thats pretty hot" or would you say "wow that looks tacky"?

 

honestly, all depends on execution of the install. post a pic of your car. so i can put 1 and 1 together

 

i think it would probably look pretty cool if done correctly but i would never do it myself because it would bother me that it wasnt really a carbon roof

 

i just honestly have the money for a real carbon fiber roof, and i think the bmw was just a sheet too and it did look reallllllllly nice

 

^^ tonnes of guys in my area are doing it (all different cars) and its not a bad looking touch (rather see just black vynal) but its something that car guys will flame you for and people who have no clue about cars will think its pretty sweet. Thats the reactions at the car shows i've had my car in.. your car and you do what you want but if this is your first mod... buy a flame suit first.

pretty sure this doesn't help you... lol sorry man!

 

If that was the latest M3, that carbon roof is stock.

 

I think its tacky. Kinda ricey especially on a beemer.

 

it was a 06 m3 the guy did it up nice so it kinda makes me want to do it but if i go to a meet or something i dont want to get shat on by everyone there

 

"Thats pretty hot"

 

I would just do a regular matte roof vinyl. That will be better than the f-arbon vinyl. You get the look without being fake.

 

Do it!

 

Rather than CF vinyl, I would do an Oracal 970Ra matte black vinyl.

 

Tacky

 

Me too. But you gotta ask yourself which matters most to you:

Function over Form or Form over Function?

 

the matte roof vinyl does look pretty sick. does anyone know if its hard to keep clean/ is it hard to wash without destroying it?
