seriously! you got too many colors going on at the same time. gloss black grill, matte looking hood, glossy sunroof in a way and then matte looking roof then glossy wing and then window tint. just look kinda odd imo.

told you to just get the real CF hood and leave everything alone.

However the job hasn't done yet, body shop is waiting for putting some clear coat to make it look same as the wing

sounds like a good plan only question is will the paint stick to the sticker?

Correct me if I'm wrong...it's all just vinyl right? Not even a true CF hood or CF roof cap. Meh not my thing

I've said it before, I'm saying again, carbon plus white just doesn't flow,never looks like a good combo to me... save it for the darker colors like black and grey....IMO

never been a fan of "fake CF". Just doesn't look right. Cheap and tacky.

If it was REAL, then it'd look sick!
