Something I have been on the fence about for quite a while, but that's me. I take my time before making changes so that I don't wind up going back later to undo them.
It's simple: wrap the roof in black vinyl, or no? It'd be gloss black, or potentially carbon fiber to match the real stuff on the car.
Regardless I think I'll be getting a quote tomorrow from my manager as I'd likely do this at work with a coworker or two.
Those black roof treatments do pop... but not for Baton Rouge. Around here, heat is the enemy, black absorbs heat. If I lived elsewhere, I'd wrap mine in a heartbeat.
As a fellow sedan-ist, I like that red hatch, but maybe its because of the different shape to the sedan.. I also think that it also has matching black wheels.. I think that might be the reason it just doesn't look right on yours. Plus the fact in those pics it looks like a gloss black, and not a flat black.. Maybe re-do your photoshop and change the colour of the wheels and the black, and it might look a little better.. Also the front grills are a gloss.. I have just plasti dipped my front and changed the gloss black with the mat, and even that is a marked improvement on the gloss.. I posted a pic in the mods thread..
Hey Twenty, i say just do it, if your thinking of carbon fiber and not to sure there is a video on the youtube of the dipyourcar.com guys doing carbon fibre spray on an ipad with the black/metalizer and those none slip rolls of sponge that you put on the bottom of your kitchen drawers or cupboards, the final look was cool and totally reversible which is the cool part (duh). GL.
Me and a friend are about to wrap part of my hood, roof, and spoiler with glossy lack carbon fiber and red carbon fiber highlights. I think it would look good!

It can be a pain in the butt if you don't know what your doing. But otherwise just take your time and it should turn out good. Once we do I'll definitely post.
I am getting mine wrapped tomorrow morning in gloss black. A friend of mine owns a shop by me i will post up pictures once its done. I was going to do it myself but i have no experience what so ever.
Here's a quick picture of my roof wrapped. I will be taking pictures tomorrow to show the roof off better. I'm at a party excuse the cell phone picture.
