CF Roof Wrapped.
Okay, So today I finally got a chance to take on my CF roof wrap project. The process was about 5hrs. I only had 1 sheet so I really took my time and didn't want to mess up. Tell me what you guys think? 
Before....
Doing the rear half section...
Front section done..
Completed...
Antenna wrapped (PITA) to do this part..
Sorry for the dirty pic of the car.
CF wrapped the Benz Logo and license plate frame.
Blacked out all chrome trims..

For my flint grey the contrast is less obvious, but I still enjoy the extra light from the Pano roof.
Looks like a careful job. Not sure if I would bother on the many detailed chrome parts though.

Looks good but it would probably be nicer if it was shiny but sure does look better than all white. 
R u gonna do your spoiler? When u get a chance I'd like to see some photos of an angle where I can see the roof spoiler with the black roof. I'm still debating on if I'm going to do the roof spoiler or not ATM.

I think it looks good but that's only because the car is all tricked out. But I got the idea now. I'm doing too much at once. I'm going to wait till I get bored and add the roof so it feels different.

Yea. That's how I feel when adding things to my car. That's why I just do one thing at a time when I get bored at the same look?

what's that tint below your headlights? I like the LED headlights on the new model but for the price I can pick up another cheapie set of 22"s and swap them out every month to have a new look lol

It was just an experiment that I tried to see how it would look. I had extra film from when I smoked out my tail lights. Yes, the new headlight mod is expensive and require a lot of work... Trust me I once thought about it also.

Looks nice, my brother did the same on his E500. He also wrapped the lip spoiler and mirrors. Good thing is if you get bored it will be easy to restore it back!

Good work on that. Personally I woulda went with gloss, as I think it looks classier and more fit with a Benz/S-Class, and the gloss looks better from far (and matches the moonroof) IMO, but to each their own. I did consider CF wrap on my roof also, after I saw how high quality and great the new CF wraps textures are. Also, like you though, I know that if I got one CF thing, I'd have to do lots of CF.
