Guinea Pig - Carbon Fiber Roof
SO I got bored yesterday... after being disappointed about receiving the wrong bluebat overlays.. My buddy at the shop received his shipment of 3M Dinoc that they're wrapping a Gallardo in.. We decided to do my roof.

What'cha Think?

Just some iphone pics.. didn't have the dslr handy..

I'm gonna try it for a bit..see if it stands up to S-FL Weather..

yeah, if it was more glossy I'd be a happier camper.. but hey.. this material came in, we gave it a try.. it's "semi-glossy" but I'd love for it to look factory with the sheen to it..

I think I'll leave the antenna for now.. unless it breaks up the continuity too much.. I'll decide this weekend.. maybe this damn monsoon outside will subside.

Very nice job... and that's coming from a person who hates overlays.

Would wrapping the antenna affect any signal loss? I'm doubting it.. but curious..

^^Not with vinyl. However, I put an actual cf roof cap on my car and did not remove the cover and I lost reception.

I like it. Wet CF (glossy) would look better though. And I would definitely wrap the antenna as well.
