I think the center of the hood as opposed to the outside would look better, but to each their own. As long as you like it.

The vinyl on the roof looks fine but not really feeling the hood.

Hey George, the roof looks good but I think that gloss would look better than matte. The hood works on your car but seems incomplete have no idea y though.

I agree with some of the above. I think the matte is fine. Inverse the hood and maybe black out the grill. That would let it flow farther and intigrate the full length of the front. Just my $.02

Welcome to the black roof club, LOL. I just had mine done a couple weeks ago too! I personally like the glossy look over the flat black, but looks good!
