New pics of my carbon-like roof

Here some "better" pictures of my new carbon-like roof look, the actual look is darker and more matt but it was a very sunny day, so I got too much reflex from the sun, next week I will post same pictures with my new set of style 214 wheels.

Does anyone think that is better to reinstall the roof racks ?
I'm not sure if it will make it better looking or worse?
Any feedback will be appreciated !

Looks nice. Is the surface smooth or there is possibility that dust and dirt can stick in?
The one on M6 is smooth and shiny.

With the X6's low roof line it looks sweet.

I made a test on a small left-over of film waxing it and then removing the wax and there is no "sticking" on it, that is good news for me, so I assume I will have not much trouble

The M3 and M6 roof's are clear coated, so it shines like regular paint, mine is kind of matt and glossy combination

I had that film on my front skip plate without the top/clear coat so the surface is not smooth ... Been driving around town for two months without car wash and it still looks clean.

When I glue stickers of extra tailpipes and side gills on my car then he can say the same thing back.
