Default Satin(Matte) Black roof on my SGM??

Hey guys, as most of you know i have a SGM with Satin Black LC818s and all my chrome blacked out. I was wondering if a Satin Black roof would look good. What do you guys think?

I think a black roof looks good when there's a strong contrast - white w/ black roof, red w/ black roof. In either case, gloss looks best (imo).

Gloss black....gives it that panoramic look and flows with your sunroof.

Glossy is nice with the sunroof, but if you have a matte theme it will work. Like the plastidip emblems and grille and grille surround.

Was just going to say this. I say leave your roof alone.
