Going to be getting Mtech rear bumper with matte black diffuser and picking up matte black kidney grills this weekend. Also I will be getting matte black shadowline trim done in the future as well.

With that said, my girlfriend is going to buy roof wrapping service for my bday/xmas present and I was wondering if I should get it done in matte or gloss.

Thanks for the input everyone!

I`m thinking matte to flow with the other matte items, and while your at it see if your girl will get your trunk and the v outline of your hood done in matte also or something like this:Help me pick finish on my roof-1864439_600.jpg

i have gloss black roof on white car and gloss black 20s ,,,but i have matte black grill, emblems, and exaust... looks sick..

seems to me that gloss black gives more of a panoramic look, whereas matte look a little more racy...if that makes sense..

i would do matte simply because the gloss wrap will eventually fade due to bird droppings and tree sap.

I gotta say Nick, matte would look better than gloss IMHO. Good luck bro, and come out to a meet sometime
