I was going to do everthing the same colour, gloss black for hood (V shape), roof and trunk.
Then later I will add the real CF trunk finisher, and real CF ACS trunk n roof spoiler.
I wasn't going to use CF vinyl at all.

I'd ask "why do you still live in Manhattan?" - that's probably more relevant. But then again, I have seen you drive, so...
1. I like living in Manhattan and everything that it has to offer.
2. I work in Manhattan and often my work hours are brutal (yesterday in at 730 am and out at 11 pm) so I don't want to tack on yet more time commuting.
I can get in all my fun driving on the weekends. Driving into Manhattan from the burbs or driving out of Manhattan during rush hour is not so much fun.

but now that we're on the subject, I have to agree with you on the commute part - driving in or out of the city has become a chore at ANY time, but peak hours - forget it! Its like the beginning of that movie "Office Space" where the guy with the "walker" is moving faster than the traffic.Do you think a black roof will make it all better?
I think so!!!

Oh, I was not really asking you that - I know better but now that we're on the subject, I have to agree with you on the commute part - driving in or out of the city has become a chore at ANY time, but peak hours - forget it!

Guys I am so stuck on the matte or gloss, been looking at pics, I would love to have my whole car matte black, but as I am doing the roof, hood n trunk and leaving the rest titanium grey I'm thinking the matte wouldnt quite look right.
Scott, you wanna take this one? PS just for the record, I vote matte (satin)

Its not the maintenance that I'm worried about, its the look, if i was doing just the roof I would definitely 100% do matte.
Matte (aka awesome):
Glossy (aka ghetto):
I move to motion to strike the gloss
