Opinions needed on which roof vinyl

I have been contemplating which black roof vinyl to buy for my WDP. I love the look. But i cant decide which one i would want.

Im getting it off ebay to save some coin. That should be fine right??? Here is a simple search of them off ebay.

The two im looking at are
1. High gloss black

Or

2. Carbon Fiber
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Carbon-Fib...item19c3dbf602

Anybody tried these and know of the quality? Thanks in advance. Im open to all advice!!!

Not sure about quality but I'd go with the gloss black. It looks more clean and classy too me

I vote gloss black. CF wrap looks great, but it doesn't have the gloss and more importantly "depth" for the roof. To me the gloss black just flows or coordinates better with the window tints.

thanks for the ideas. And the matte black is definitely more original. I like it, but i dont know if its dark enough. I want it to flow with all the other black trim.
And the carbon fiber will probably look tacky, now that ive thought about it all day...
There is just no substitute for the real thing.
So i think ill go gloss black. Keep it classy, even if im conforming to everybody else.
Ill prob order it tonight.

I sell gloss and CF. IDK what vinyl he is using but I use a high quality 6 year outdoor high performance vinyl by Oracle. Most of those EBAY guys don't post up names because there vinyl is cheap..

It may all look the same but look at it 3 years from now or try to remove it and ruin your clear coat..
