Gloss. Makes it seem like from your windshield to rear windshield is glass

Matte, makes it look like primer and you cant afford a complete paint job.

Gloss all the way. I was behind a WRX the other day that had a matte vinyl roof overlay and it looked like crap... Zbrah is right, it looks just like primer.

i don't think matte looks that terrible? plus its really easy to maintain no swirl marks whatsoever... (depends if your really picky) coming from having had gloss, semi gloss and matte roof overlays i think i liked matte blended well with my matte top secret stickers and rims on my z.... just some food for thought

i tried dinoc (matte black) on my roof once.... i HATED it. it looked like faux canvas top from the 70's 80's on buicks and olds.
i removed it like 1hr after i did the work. lol

definitely go gloss.

Definitely gloss.

Google search found these. Sorry to the owners for not giving credit.





Matte vinyl just looks unfinished.
