I have AW. Should I cover the roof with CF Vinyl? Will it damage the paint?

I have a question... say 3 years later after being pounded by the sun day in and day out I decide I wanna sell my car and the new owner doesn't like the CF roof, so I say ok.. let's just peel it off! know what the result's gonna be? I have an idea...

That was my question. But I believe, vinyl sticker will be easier to fix, even if it messes up the paint.

People are installing real CF roofs. Say the new owner doesn't want it?

Where can I buy the vinyl sticker for the roof?

i have an aw. I was thinking of carbon fiber vinyl but now the more i think about it, i will probably just have it painted black. Yeah you are stuck with it but at least it wont look like garbage.

Just paint the roof jet black or gloss black vinyl it. Don't do the carbon fiber vinyl that's weak.
