Thoughts on roof wrap?

I'm wondering wether I should do a gloss black or matte black. I've got matte rims, but I think I still want gloss black. Let me know what you think.

Gloss black for sure. And I'd do the trunk underneath your panel since you can see the red peeking through!

I agree with gloss too. I m just waiting to get mine in the next few days. I have a performance white with gloss black hood spears, gloss black lip spoiler, and then the gloss black roof on top for the finished touch. Then down at the bottom of course I got matte black lower valences, and just plasti dipped my stock 18" s today .

It's actually the red from the tail light reflecting in the sun. The picture is deceiving.

Definitely go with gloss, you have those really nice dark tinted windows and the gloss will look like a more true black so they'll look good together

Gloss black..I want to do this for my next mod but I'm thinking matte for mine. There's nothing else gloss on the whole car.

I say flat black. Everything else is flat black. 5.0 badges, looks like heat extractors and rims. Tho, the gloss would look good with the windows and everything. But, gloss roof with all that flat black stuff? Idk about that one.

Gloss, if you want it to look like a glass roof. Flat, if you want it to look like an accent. I'd go with flat.

I wouldn't flip a coin on that lol. I say flat black, once you start putting flat black around the car you can't throw in gloss black. To many different shades of black imo.

You have to remove the entire roof and send it to ford for them to uninstall them. Otherwise your power train warranty will be voided : )
