    I have a white b6 s4 and am getting my grill painted matte black now as well as my valance. I am looking to do my roof black and was wondering what you thought...
    Matte or Gloss Black?

    If you are going to do it, gloss. Flat is everywhere now! Just last week I saw a Flat Black Smart Car, Lambo Murcielago, Rolls Royce Phantom, M5 and 911. White with gloss black like that RS4 above. Wow, what an interior on that thing.

    That guy had snows on those wheels so I'm guessing that's his winter setup and stock for summer.

    Re: Matte or Gloss Roof

    i agree go gloss on the car...flat is cool when the whole car is done flat but not for your application.

    That rs4 is sexy but why didnt he tint all of hte windows and put black wheels on it? That would be game over with oz ultraleggras in black...wow.

    Re: Matte or Gloss Roof

    I too would go with gloss, it just looks clean.

    On another note, the interior of that RS4 = FAIL, maybe its just me, but that is WAAAYYY too much red for any interior. I like red accents like stitching, but the whole interior in red, is just not for me.

    agreed.

    How would vinyl on the roof hold up in the winter, when snow and ice is caked on it?

    Anyone know what brand of roof spoiler that RS has? It looks great

    Re: Matte or Gloss Roof

    Do it gloss....And when you get it done, throw on a roof spoiler.It makes such a huge difference. Makes it stand out even more. check out mine before and after.
    Before the roof spoiler

    I have never been a fan of roof spoilers, but I am not gonna lie, it looks clean on those cars, almost makes me want to do it to my B6
