As some of you know that I recently had my roof wrapped in matte black vinyl and it turned out pretty good. However, I later did some more research and found some 3M Di-NOC CF vinyl on the internet. But every installer that I called wanted up to 400 bucks for the install. So I saw some youtube clips and found out how easy it is to apply (http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/). So I ordered some and going to attempt a DIY. Here is an example from Chris McAllister's M5 (Baltimore Ravens CB).

I will be sure to post pics of DIY.... I know a couple of local folks where interested in my progress as I'm the guinea pig.

Your Ex-B6 looked like a good time, but the E46 looks quite tasty!

I don't know if it'll be a compliment or not to you, but your car has a "DTM" VIP E39 M5 feel to it. I dig it!

Hey Calvin, your car looks great. Good luck with the CF roof DIY. I'm sure it'll turn out great. After seeing your beast I do miss my E46
