Vinyl roofing need help!

Hi Gentleman and ladies, im looking at blacking out the roof of my C230 2009 with black CF 3m vinyl.
has anyone done this before? Or can link me to something please let me know.
im curious if you can remove the black roof rails without damaging them so we can create a seamless look on the roof.

Thanks

Yes you can remove the black rails without damaging anything and it's really easy to do it.

BUT, I wouldn't recommend doing it in CF... I've done a lot for clients and it just looks ugly and weird. Do it in black matte or glossy matte - it looks much better.

Are they just clips so pull carefully and they come off and snap back into place? I have other CF on the car already. just keeping it the same look.
