Default Flat black/carbon fiber roof

I'm debating weather to cover my roof in either flat black or 3M di-noc vinyl. It looks awesome on some cars, but I'm have a hard time deciding whether to do it on my car.

What do you think? Would it look good?

I would do one but it's hard to do since the roof doesn't really show up in pictures that much.

It might look pretty cool. You might want to change the rear panel to match. I think the flat roof with a gloss rear would not look good together. My opinion don't mix flat and gloss, do one or the other.

I'd go 3M di noc fiber. I've not seen it on the Mustang, but We've all seen it on other types of cars and I think the Roof on a Stang would look awesome with it. Was considering this myself but went with my custom highlighted stripes instead.

If you fiber your roof, then also fiber your decklid, that center part of your chin-spoiler (and center of rear spoiler to match) and your side mirror covers to complete the look.

*When a visual accent is only in one place, it looks like a slapped-on-afterthought. But When it appears in few carefully considered spots along the car front-to-back, it looks like a professionally thought-out design.

Go for it. Carbon fiber on blue... yup... yup... yup!

Oh, and instead of Photoshop, find someone who has Forza for the XBOX, you can pre-try all kinds of color schemes and visual mock-ups in full-rotatable 3D. Easy and fast... see it from all angles.

I'd stay away from the carbon fiber look on the outside of the car.
To me it screams import.

If you were going to change the roof I would go with the flat black.
Especially if you don't want people associating your car with San Fransisco because
of it's famous treat.

Yes, but you're not lowered. I'm wondering if those S-style wheel fit 18x10 in front while lowered.
