Wrapping my CLS

I’m going to be wrapping my CLS matte black.. it’s already gloss black. Need help making a decision on whether to leave the roof gloss? Or make it all matte since it’s not panoramic!? And possibly leaving the mirrors gloss also?

2016 CLS 550.. going to wrap it in Xpel stealth.. figured since it’s already gloss black, maybe I would clear coat the roof and mirrors? Or would it look cheesy?

I dont think its going to look good , I would wrap the whole car or you can get the sides done and see how the mirrors look gloss black

I hope someone chims in and can photoshop it for you lol

I guess I’m used to the panoramic roof look of my last Mercedes.. I’m thinking definitely wrap the mirrors matte black.
