Default Carbon fiber wrapped roof and halo?

Has anyone wrapped their roof and halo with a carbon fiber looking wrap? I've been going back and forth on black vs carbon fiber look wrap. I think the carbon fiber look wrap will go well with my C7 Carbon front splitter, side skirts and the carbon fiber wrapped splash guards.

If you have done this, can you please post up some pics?

Thanks,
Mike

Just looks black in pictures unless its a close-up. Always get positive comments on it. And I have the C7 splitter in fiberglass, painted flat black.

Where did you get your front splitter?

Thanks for the pic monterey, I appreciate it.

It's very easy to DIY. Only issue with the Cf vinyl, the sun starts to whiten it out after a while. And don't ever wax it. It'll look like A$& after
