My tint guy has the 3m di noc carbon fiber vinyl in stock now, and I will say that in person the vinyl looks phenomenal and very very close to real dry carbon fiber.

My E55 is pewter metallic, you think it'll look nice or tacky?

all the rides I've seen with wrapped roofs have looked good.. id say go for it.

What he said lol +1

since you ask...it'll tacky imho...but i think all vinyl belongs on rrockets...fwiw

rice = no, rocket = yes,

I agree...fake carbon roof. Even though it looks good, it's like wearing a fake rolex.

right, that's apples to apples

Well, I'm going to have it done. I've always loved how w211s look with pano roofs, so with this vinyl, it should give the same look, but with a little bit of CF texture up close.
I'll post pics soon on this thread, then you guys can see how it looks on our cars.

If it doesn't look good, it's pretty easy to remove, so that's a good thing, lol.

how much does it cost to get this done anyway?

post them when you get some. second that cost question.

$40 for install and 120-130 for the vinyl cost. $170 total. Great price for getting the nice black roof look e55s get with the panoramic roof.
The tint place says our roof is very quick and easy to wrap, which is great for us E55ers!

totally do it could be an awesome cheap mod. An being a pano owner I give you approval

"i think all vinyl belongs on rrockets"...vinyl is vinyl right

also too add, i dont think it will look right...but i have a distaste for pewter so i might be bias

my friend just had his done and it's incredible. go for it.

I have a Pewter with Pano roof and i can tell you its nice !
Silver, black, white, pewter will be good for CF look roof.

Wow, its looks great!!!

wow..that does look good. you could have the pano look without the pano squeek.

looks fantastic...great work as usual, james

**** thats sick

I think anything you do to cover up a beautiful $$$ paintjob is dumb.

I think it looks like one of those old Cadillac/Lincoln/ roofs!

I knew yu would say that, lol. We touched on this two weeks ago I believe.

Yep! I mean, if it was gloss carbon fiber like the M3s maybe but flat looks like some hooptie Caddi! It looks real stupid with the shinny sunroof.

Kinda liking it. Would be great to see in person. I am thinking CF on mine.
