Carbon Fibre roof

Been thinking about going for a carbon fibre roof on my car but can't decide if I'd like the look or not.
Has anybody got any pics of a white classic with one fitted or even with a wrapped roof.

Thanks,
Matt.

Why?

By the time it's riveted and bonded on you won't be saving much if any weight.

If it's soley

Bloody iPhones.

If it's solely cosmetic you'd be better off just wrapping it IMO

never seen one on a scoob ? but if it looks spanking on an old mini it will look even better on a subaru ? do it = win imo

Thanks buddy.
Still can't make my mind up if I like it or not or if it looks a bit chavvy.

I might just get my roof wrapped as its fairly cheap and then if it looks good go with a carbon fibre one.

It is merely for looks as dont think it would save that much weight but would prefer proper carbon as opposed to a wrap.
