Roof thread https://5series.net/forums/topic/115...n-on-the-roof/


The grills are wrapped in the 3m 3d vinyl.. heres how they look.

the guy who did it is a friend but he owns a shop and as far as expert.. they flew him out from fla to penn friday morning and back that night just to wrap 1 ferrari.. .so .. hes pretty good he used a blow torch on it and kinda melted and stretched it...

and as far as fake carbon.. it definitely doesnt look like that crappy painted stuff.. it actually is a 3d weave.. but if you dont like carbon in general.. then yea.. i have never put carbon on anything but i like the hood roof and grills.. i think its just aggressive enough without looking weird
