It's not exactly 'dry' carbon, it is un-clear coated carbon so it looks dry and it still needs a bit of finishing ...

I basically want to match the shininess level of the roof ...

just get it clear coated, no black piant, and wet sand and buff it. it'll probably come out shinier than your roof.

vince has a good idea going there!... imo all black would throw off the scheme you have going on your hood... the roof looks awesome! but i think white with some sort of hint of the carbon on the trunk would be very clean

Yeah, that is my current plan, I'll discuss options with Jeff when I take the car up there at some point ...
