Default Carbon fiber roof?

Most of my build has high gloss black trim, will the carbon fiber roof throw off the look? I think it looks kinda grayish!

My build has most high gloss black options as well as carbon fiber roof and mirrors. Will post pics after I pick it up, which should be late next week.

While it is more gray than black, it gets a pass for being carbon fiber.

I can’t wait to post my picture of my car with a carbon roof in production :-) Although given how long it has been since my car was finished, I may have the car before I see a production photo at this stage.

If that happens I will extend my hand in fellowship as I'm already a member of that particular club. I've had my car for 8 days, and it is still SCHEDULED for production so who knows when I will ever see a picture of it in production.

Agree CF and Agate would look really nice. I guess any color with a CF roof would like nice... .

Thinking about optioning CF roof with Agate Grey, anyone have or seen pictures of this combination? Interested to see how the various Grey match up or not. Thanks!

I Finished my build everyone at the dealership agreed that carbon fiber is the way to go including the East Coast representative for Porsche
