Default Wrapping opinions

Scheduled to get mirrors and rear valence and roof wrapped next Friday. Need opinions.

1. Dry carbon
2. Gloss black
3. Matte black

Car is silver with matte black and red wheels (see avatar) with evo r silver lip kit and gloss carbon center and matte painted fangs. Also have dry carbon b pillars

Let me know what vinyl material you guys would use on which parts ( roof, mirrors, rear valence). Either all the same or mix and match colors. Let me know I want several opinions from my peeps. Also I live in Florida with rough heat and rain and a lot of highway miles so maybe you guys know if certain colors are better for vinyl wrapping than others.

Gloss black is a nightmare to maintain in my experience; marrs very easily and doesn't really resemble gloss black paint as it lacks some luster.

Matte is also hard to upkeep. Personally, if it were my car I would have the car wrapped with a matte clear vinyl as it keeps your silver (makes it look a bit darker), is easier to care for, and won't be flat black like most everyone else that wraps their cars. I personally don't like flat black at all, looks unfinished and it's a paint to maintain.
