I plan on wrapping my roof...but...

2011 335i e92 alpine white with m package

I'm planning on wrapping my roof, but I can decide if I should go for gloss black, matte black, or carbon fiber.

Can anyone get pictures of each or recommendations for an alpine white car?

Thank you.

Yeah, that's not his car. Think he was using it for reference purposes.

Guess I'm going for gloss black.

Does anyone know what brand / type of gloss black wrap I should ask a shop to order?

Also, how much do you think everything all together (labor too) should cost approximately....I don't want to get jipped!

I just got mine wrapped in 3M carbon fiber a few weeks ago and I love it. I paid $200 for mine and he did an awesome job. Ill snap some pics for you.

Do gloss black, it lookest the cleanest and well carbon fiber vinyl looks cheap.

gloss, go with the oracal 9 series vinyl, like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oracal-970RA-Gloss-BLACK-Vehicle-Wrap-Vinyl-60-x72-/260831972520?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &vxp=mtr&hash=item3cbacc0ca8

5 x 6 feet might be a bit too much (just use a tape measure on your roof) but its good to have a little extra to wrap the roof rack bars and the shark fin (which will be done separately from the roof)
