agree

both look good, white looks nice from a distance as you can see it more. Javy's looks good close up and blends in with the car. tough decision here

Don't get a roof spoiler and keep the rear end looking sleek

IMO painting the roof glossy black and getting roof spoilers are 2 different routes. Roof spoilers are aesthetics more than functional, they make the rear windshield look smaller (== more aggressive look) while the glossy black paint accentuates and flows with the rear windshield, the roof spoiler will disrupt that visual flow. Also I hope you don't have the OEM spoiler since you have the glossy black roof spoiler already... I just love this combo, ultra smooth (just my 0.02 riyals )
