Gloss black or Carbon fiber?
Already ordered front grilles, side grilles, in gloss back, reflectors in AW for my AW F10M5. Also, a set of Moudlare B18 (20" Anthracite) with Akrapovic evo (carbon fiber tips) is on the way too. I really like the carbon fiber roof from IND, but since I bought this car for my wife, and she really likes the sunroof, so I am thinking get roof wrapped (vinyl). Now, the question is, should I go with gloss black or carbon fiber vinyl?

if you must do it go with gloss black. The cf vinyl looks very cheap and degrades the look of the f10. Atleast gloss black will always be classy and since all your other accessories are gloss you might as well follow suit.

Yes, since it's only a vinyl, just get gloss black.

I just got my roof wrapped in gloss black and honestly even that cheapens the look of the F10 when you are up close.
No matter what gloss black vinyl will never look like real paint/glass. The gloss black vinyl looks alittle like a bad black paint job. See it in person before you decide. Alan

I don't mean this in a negative way, but I don't even "get" wrapping one's roof. Is it to make it "look" like the CF roof on an M3? If it isn't the real deal, then why bother?

Not only that but also the panoramic look. Also people do it becuase they want a 2 tone look.
