Seal Gray: mirrors and roof Gloos or Matte Black?

Painting the sides and rear skirts on Monday to match the body. I am going to paint the mirrors black, and im 50/50 on the roof. I am not sure if I should go matte black to match the molding around the windows and the plastic piece that holds the mirror to the car, or should I go gloss black? If I go gloss black I will be painting that plastic piece gloss black as well. Any opinions and/or photos would be great.

Thanks

What other body mods do you have? Personally, I think you have to have aggressive body kit, black out wheels etc to pull off black roof. For stock body, keep it body color.

I like the stock look of the car..... not planning on any major body mods.

i love my painted roof, i tihnk it would look great on seal gray... i would not recommend
going with matte black, i tried it and it looked terribly cheap. i have glossy jet black and i think it looks great on my silver.
