Default Wrap CF on hood, roof, mirrors and top of rear spoiler

I have a platinum silver 991, and I am trying to wrap the hood, roof, mirrors and the top part of the rear spoiler in Carbon Fiber. What do you guys think? Would it be good? or would it be too much? I originally just want to do the hood, but thought it might be cool to do the roof, spoiler and mirror as well.

Here's a picture of the car. Thanks for your input.

Please don't do it, will look cheap and ricer-ish. Why cover up your beautiful paint with some fake looking carbon fiber vinyl?

To each their own of course but on your stunning 991 covering anything in vinyl will look like crap IMO...

Great looking car.

Personally, I'd pass on the wrap.

Please pass. Fake wraps are very lame.

Your car is beautiful. The wrap won't age well and it will take down the the beauty of the car. Restraint.

It's your call of course but that's a helluva nice car to be putting stickers on! I think it looks spectacular the way it is. If you decide to go ahead, put up some pictures so we can see it.

Wouldn't the car look just as good, for a lot less money, with rattle-can?

Maybe just do the hood? Should be very cheap too, if you don't like it, easily peel it off.

All of those black bits would make it look like crap, like the GTS.
