you car looks awesome.

I vote for gloss black because mate black will look like s*** on your hood after a while with all the water spots and bird s***s, etc.

people forget that mate anything is vulnerable to the elements, SPECIALY IF ITS THE HOOD

dude,..your color scheme is almost the same as mine. I have matte black on my fascia but I have gloss black on the roof. It looks so hot! But whatever you do, since you're going vinyl, for God's Sake don't do CF!

Haha... It can't be voted the #1 Ski resort of North America, and the host location of snow events of the 2010 Winter Olympics for no reason!

I vote for matte black on your roof by the way!

definately gloss black... I have matte black everywhere also, but I have a gloss black roof overlay... the gloss black roof gives it the "large moonroof" look. basically, with the gloss, the sun reflection from your windshield, to your roof, to your rear windshield will be continuous... looks 100X better than matte black... you would think that it would be an obvious contrast to the rest of the matte black car, but the illusion of it being a moonroof keeps that from happening!
