Hey everyone, took advantage of the long weekend to plan out and execute my latest mod. I wrapped my roof and matte black shadowline trim with a Orcal Hi-Gloss black vinyl. I think it looks amazing. i was on the fence about this, ive seen people do this with carbon fiber and matte black and it always seemed a bit over the top or doing too much. but for me, the gloss black makes it look like a panoramic roof. it breaks up the silver gray w/ a nice shine. what do you all think?

also, i removed all my shadowline trim and wrapped that as well...ill update the thread a bit later with some detailed pics....but it looks AWESOME! definitely something that only I would notice but that gloss black against my shinny silver gray...matching my gloss black kedney grills and M5 mirror trim....it all fits nicely. thoughts?

oh and im thinking about wrapping my shark fin as well....or do you guys think i should leave it silver gray?

I LOVE IT! I have to do mine again... I tackled this once and it had a corner issue so I ripped it all off.... I have to do this again. Thanks for the pics brother!

The contrast is very nice. Great job! Also - I personally like the shark fin in grey.

It looks great!

The shark fin contrast is nice at the moment, but I think if you can wrap it well in gloss black, that should look more sleek.
