Also what helps is that if your are doing a custom hood stripe, it won't be touching the "real" paint on the car, so it will be that much harder to tell the difference in color.
Frankly, the difference in depth, sheen, and orange peel (have to use very high quality vinyl) could be more noticeable than the color match itself given the lack of overlap.
Oops! I missed this post! 100% agree. Anthony said, the very very premium vinyl is leagues better than the vinyl most use. I really think the car needs a stripe. That's just too much naked carbon for me. If I could have gotten a WP with a painted hood I would have..
While fake anything is usually bad....the roof would look so much better in Carbon Fiber, better matching the hood and spoiler. I would actually consider doing a carbon fiber wrap for the top, ala Gt3rs WP....

Hmmm, interesting. But can you find wrap that matches the Porsche carbon fiber used on the hood?
STEK has "carbon" printed PPF, when applied properly, it looks like the real deal.
It's really not that complicated nor rocket science.
That's true and have seen it in person...really nice...but you want the OEM and the PPF weave to match.
At least for me If the OEM is a 2K weave (not sure on this, just and example) I wouldn't want a 4K weave on the top.
2K carbon fiber is the rarest carbon fiber on the market. It is produced by no more than 2 carbon manufacturers in the world. The plate has perfect stiffness, low weight and great vertical compliance (comfort).
No automotive manufacturer ever advertise about their carbon K grades, because the market does not require them to go to such levels of detail.
The carbon of 2x2 vs 4x4 in layman speak is more of a visual finish vs outright stiffness, strength purposes. For example, good quality aftermarket Japanese tuners (Like ASM, J's Racing Mugen, Spoon etc.) will typically offer their hoods in 2x2 while ROW has typically chosen to go with 4x4.
Quick question! Does the side scoop behind the doors also work for air intake into the engine or are they just decorative? When I see the rendering of the engine intake it seems like all air comes from the top scoops! Thanks.

@tdlondon These now function as compartment cooling for the engine since now being in a midengine location instead of rear location
Exactly...…on the GT4 it served dual purpose, cooling and intake.
On the 4RS they are just used for cooling the engine compartment...remember it sits in the middle with very little airflow.
I am yet to see a car with deviated stitching, any of you has one coming soon? There are 0 on instagram, all of them have either the standard grey or blue stitching choices
