that is fine if you get the color to match and hide the seam perfectly.

another really rice idea just came to mind...bondo the seam up, wipe it down really good with some paint thinner...THEN do a sheet of cf vinyl, wrap the edges and paint underneath black??? my head is starting to hurt because of me thinking how cool of an idea that is and how rice it would be at the same time...

Honestly, i think it looks like sh**. I would keep the car smooth and not overdone like a mustang or something.

I agree, the car looks good now, so clean, I don't think the roof thing is gonna add to its understated style. Removing the wiper would help if you dont need it.

On the other hand, that is just my opinion, I still think people should do what they like, so if you like it, go for it.
