Do both so I can see what it looks like as I have been contemplating the same on my inbound GT4 in CWM. Definitely doing the wing in Matte Black.. roof TBD.

There was a 718 GT4 at Main Line that had the roof in black. I personally did not like how it looked. I know that doesnt help hahaha, And it's not posted on their site any more. But maybe someone here on RL bought it and can post pics.

I have seen examples of the roof in black though my searches, and I find it more appealing when the windows are heavily tinted; which is why it will most likely be a hard pass for me bc I do not like dark tints on my vehicles... 40-50% max.

100% go for the wing/duckbill in matte black..

I had my white F32 roof wrapped black and it looks great....the F32 has the right lines for it as it matches up perfectly with the roof rails from windshield to the back window.

Not sure if it would look as good on the Cayman due to how the roof rails don't line up symmetrically like my BMW does from front to back window





great thing about a wrap is you can easily remove it if you don't like it....might cost a few bucks to find out though

I personally think you should leave it alone...she looks great as is

It just looks like a Tesla now.

White is the perfect canvas for Martini Racing colors! I've always wanted to do that.

I always just loved how the M4 looks with that black carbon roof ..it also good way to protect the paint too and was only like $200

Thanks for the feedback, I may just do the spoiler. It's a toss up

I'd give some thought into having the mirror caps wrapped in black. Its a very sporty look, and it will help break up all the white in a subtle way.

Quick question: is your car PPF's or have ceramic? Im not sure how well a wrap would hold up on top of PPF, and it would be recommended to polish off any ceramic on the surfaces where you want to wrap. Just tossing this out there, as this should be factored in for the quality of the wrap job, also as an additional out of pocket cost if you dont prep the surfaces on your own.
