Default Black roof for Tungsten Pearl

What do you guys think would look better matte black or gloss black for a tungsten pearl on flat black 19s.

I'd like it all to match, but will you add more black items? Then possibly all matte. If just the roof alone, maybe gloss to match the shine of the rest of the car.

glossy black for sure!
a matte black top will seem like you rushed out of a paint shop and didn't let them finish

i think matte black only works on the GTR

Definitely gloss black. Paint or vinyl both work fine
