I would do glossy, are you going to wrap the antenna as well since it's silver right now?

You don't have much roof to wrap if you have the panoramic roof!

my antenna is black, i don't have the silver antenna.
i was thinking doing the glossy too because the windows are very glossy.

I'd do glossy to give it that continuous reflective look from front window to rear. Especially so if you've a decent tint on the rear windows. A case could be made for matte if you have matte accents (lip, spoiler, etc) though.
