My cas is white and I am doing the roof black.

I'm thinking black. If it were me tho, I'd want to delete it and put a black roof spoiler.

Id change the antenna to black, if I were to paint the roof.

Are you 100% sure you want to paint the roof? If not, why dont you get a huge piece of black vinyl and cover the roof? I am sure there are sticker shops that have giant pieces of black vinyl.

The shark fin is only for XM. So unless you have XM i wouldnt worry about it much. But, be aware that the shark fin is screwed in, so if you remove it youll have to get the hole filled or something.
