I just need some suggestions of if i should get the cf overlay or not ...

if you have all the other cf pieces, then get it. I'm personally not a fan of CF, but it sounds like your car sounds like it'd be missing something without the roof overlay.

All the pieces i've seen are a tad short. I think a lot of people are just putting some black vinyl underneath to mask the problem area.

If you have a cf hood, a&b pillars, and hatch... Then YES!!

It will finish the look really well.

Cheap clearcoats will cause that. Take care of it like you do the paint and wax it and it should be fine.

We recommend you wax twice a month, make sure to do this in the shade. Also, Mastergrade and Asuka gurantee their parts won't fade.

I have a carbon roof overlay with carbon hood and spoiler on a PPW. I like! Ive had the hood re-clear coated. Make sure the shop has worked with carbon before because wet-sanding will cause tiny holes in the gel-coat and cause the fish eye look in the clear coat.

The painter would have to use a super heavy coat of clear like beyond what you would normally use to get it right.

The Mastergrade roof from Jim is spot on money! BTW.
