I'd say match it to the roof, so matte. Why'd you go matte over gloss on the whole roof?? Just curious.

I did the matte on the roof because all my accessories are matte black, grills, side gills, m3 emblem, and exhaust. Plus im more of a matte black guy, the gloss is the flashy for me...

I like gloss black roofs but since u already have matte one id def go with matte rails to match

Get matte, so it matches your roof

Id go with gloss. It would accent the gloss black arround the mirrors and the gloss from your sunroof

Matte probably works better since your roof is already matte. On a side note, I thought your car didn't have exhaust tips at first LOL. your tips seemed dark enough to blend in the shadows xD.
