Might look quite nice but seeing as your location is warm, besides the heat factor, good luck taking it off later. Hight temps will make it harder to take off. Also, from a body shop perspective, depending on how long it's on there, the paint around it will certainly fade and you may get the ol' removing the rug on the wood floor look.

It might not look bad but I don't think it will be an improvement. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

^ my car flowed better with a black roof because I have a carbon hood. But I got mine wrapped in Gloss black, not flat black. Mine looks like he roof is painted.

I think it looks good in that application. It could be kind of cheesy but one of the short antennas with carbon fiber might be a nice touch on there.
