I want to do a black roof but don't want to paint it, if I have to sell the car. What should I go with, satin black or gloss black, or skip it all together?

I'd love to do carbon fiber, but I know of no one around here who can do it.

+1. Satin would match your shadowline trim.

+1 Phil, Satin black will look great on your car. Maybe Don Nguyen knows someone local he could recommend for the CF treatment?

Or you can order the CF material from him and have it locally installed.

Matte black. Phil, I've heard that the CF wrap can mess up your roof. Not sure though, but thats just what I was told.

Go with the matte one.

My roof is painted gloss and I've seen Satin. I think the gloss looks better. and Im not being biased
