The color is right but is it a functional antennae or just a cosmetic?

I am going to go ahaed with the vinyl roof guys.
Now i need to decide, matte black or gloss black.
My car is titanium grey?
What do you guys think?
At the moment I'm leaning towards gloss as I have quite a few CF mods at the moment and planned for the future.

I would do the rails in Cf if I could get them wrapped in real CF.
The only reason that I am not going with CF vinyl is that I already have real CF door pillars, grilles and badges, and plan on real CF trunk finisher, ACS roof spoiler and trunk spoiler.
I think it would be a shame to spoil the real CF with vinyl CF.
Also I will wrap the trunk so the CF trunk finisher wont look like a big chunk of black in the middle of the back of the car.
will prob do half of the hood as well.
I still think the gloss black would look better with the CF trunk finisher, roof and trunk spoiler.
Will try to find some comparisons before I order

Tom, if you're gonna wrap the trunk and half the hood (I'm assuming, you mean the "V"), then you should do the roof in matching CF - this way it will be uniform. In other words, if hood and trunk are wrapped in different material than the roof, it will look like crap, pal! Think about it!
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.
