It looks like magnetite.
I'm so confused why are some people getting magnetite with black bumper and some not?
Ins1gnia can you double check your car to verify?

Looks pretty close to actual carbon fiber. Can't tell its a wrap unless you are touching it or super up close, maybe not even then.

JRCart he says that they cut around it. He says they took a shark fin off once and the headliner had to come out to do it, and that was sort of one thing led to another and it was a nightmare and they had hours and hours into it just for that.

No problem. He says you take the headliner out but to do that there is a piece of trim, to take that piece off you have to take another piece til finally you have the backseat out lol. "Try all else first" was the advice.

Mine doesn't lol, it was (factory/stock) the same color as car. Interesting though.
Not really sure why some would or wouldn't
I checked mine. The piece just pops off pretty much... had to remove it when I added my front lip.

Looks like a very good job. Seems like you're happy with it, which is what matters!
Just my honest opinion (not meant to sound negative) but personally I do not like the blacked out roof look. It looks dated. Also I think it would look a lot better in gloss than matte/ satin. When I was doing my window chrome bits, I contemplated doing my roof for a minute but am happy I didn't. I love the look of my roof, a true hard top!
Anyway great looking car and thanks for sharing

I like it, but I agree about the gloss finish.
I painted mine cuz I wanted smth permanent. Love the look on the white car especially it helps hide the black antenna & black roof trims nicely.

I think satin is going to tie in better when window trim is done and tint re-done.

604, I've done matte, satin and gloss for my window trims and in my opinion the gloss trims look best. Matches more of the cars gloss black/carbon bits. And if u do a gloss roof it will all tie in nicely.
If u have both satin and gloss it doesnt look as good, just like the roof with the gloss runners and sunroof currently. Gloss matches the windows more and the gloss carbon bits.
I can post some pics of my window trims if you like, but I'm sure you have seen gloss window trim?
I'm still doing tiny details to my car, like in a few weeks I'm having my tire valve stems taken out and replaced with solid black instead of the stock silver lol. Every detail man haha!
Anyway these are just my opinions.
Oh Roswell, I ended up getting those HRE caps. Having them painted red and satin bronze and will show u them at the end of this month. They are soooo cool! (Got them for half price)
