Matte black. Phil, I've heard that the CF wrap can mess up your roof. Not sure though, but thats just what I was told.

Go with the matte one.
I had Don do my gloss black.
I believe he gets his from the same brand and all have the same adhessive.
I've seen the CF vinyl material and it is slightly thicker, dont know if that matters.
Maybe Don can chime in, and clarify for us.

Dont do the matt black...i had it replaced with gloss black after only 2 weeks...and im still considering painting the roof for a better gloss finish...I currently use vinyl cleaner to give mine an even better shine...took a few quick pics so you could have a look...sorry about the dirty car.

I'd love to do carbon fiber, but I know of no one around here who can do it.
try advertising companies, they wrap vehicles all the time
