Question gloss black or carbon?
planning to get my roof wrapped soon (white c63) to finish of the looks of my car. heres my thoughts imo gloss black would look the best. i think carbon doesnt fit the c63 unless its real carbon fiber although it matches all the carbon in my car but too much carbon on white isnt always good.
what do you guys think gloss black or carbon fiber?

Do you have any CF currently on the exterior of your car?

If no, Gloss Black.
If yes, Carbon Fiber.

I would do Carbon Fiber.

It will flow much better with your other CF mods imo.

IMO the 3M carbon vinyl looks really bad. I would go gloss black all the way.
