The whole exterior of the car is gloss. Matte would look out of place

But I'd like to see how it looks with a painted roof spoiler. I've been wondering about it too since I'm in the same boat...but with DGP.

I'm digging the blacked out (I'd go gloss) roof on the AM. I think I'll have to do that when I go for tints.

As soon as I have warm enough weather for the install I'm putting glossy 3M CF Di-Noc on my roof. It's just sitting in my closest waiting for a warm weekend. And for those who are wondering, this is the new Di-Noc that is rated for exterior horizontal use warranted by 3m. Will post picks as soon as it's on.

Where did you buy it from? Do they offer it in just glossy black, not CF?

I got it from a fellow Azine member, dave_ramkumar, for a great price. I don't know what else he carries but I am sure you can PM him, great to deal with.

Holy crap...Scott, that's going to look sick!! Can't wait to see it man. I was wondering what you were cooking up for that next mod. Good luck, hope it comes out the way you're expecting.

Gloss black looks nice too. People usually buy a black antenna off ebay instead of wrapping their existing color one, tends to be much easier I've heard because of the weird curves on the antenna.

As soon as we get a 65+ degree day its on. I am planning on wrapping the antenna too, we'll see how that goes.
