Add the carbon fiber roof "fins" if you have a moonroof?

I really wanted a sunroof so I didn't get the carbon fiber roof, but I do like those two "fins" that stick out on top of the roof (I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about but attached a picture).

Do you guys think there is any way to replicate that on a non carbon fiber sunroof roof?

My m3 is going to be black btw so the roof will already be dark.

The fins on the carbon roof are abs plastic. A few brands sell the carbon overlays with 3m tape.

you're asking about the front to back ridge lines that create the lowered middle on the carbon roof and not the shark fin?

ridge lines are molded into the roof and not add-ons.

Yes the two front to back ridge lines. Not the antenna shark fin, that comes standard.

I thought it was molded on to the roof but wasn't sure if you can replicate that look somehow?

I have a sunroof as well and get why you want this look, but to honest I think it would look cheap and out of place. Just my .02, but our roofs are just not able to be replicated to the look of the carbon roof, even minus the carbon.

If you do decide to rock these though, definitely post the pics.

Exactly, tough choice either way. I love the light that comes in through the sunroof on a nice day. Too dark without one.
