i think the matte black looks terrible im afraid. the gloss black looks ok but personally i think doing it in carbon fibre as with the M4 etc would make most sense.

If your other parts are carbon fibre, yes it would make more sense. But with the rest being matte black, I disagree-carbon fibre wrap will look out of place.

I'll be attempting a gloss black 3m 1080 wrap on the roof, rails, and shark fin myself soon so lets see how things go! I have Alpine White so it should look great especially with the 5% tint and MP Mirror caps and MP Spoiler that will also soon be on the car.

I'm on a bit of a time crunch with it as far as doing a full DIY video. Planning on doing it this Tuesday and only have 3-4 hours to get everything from start to finish. I might setup my GoPro for a time lapse and see how that turns out. I wouldn't mind doing a write up with any tips I have if all goes well after. I have never worked with vinyl before.

Hi all,
For those of you that had either CF or gloss black installed for longer than 1 year, how has it been holding so far? A local shop recommended not installing gloss black wrap because swirls and scratches really pop up, even more than if it was painted. After that I stepped back and I'm thinking twice before doing it. |
