    I have a white 2016 sport and I am trying to preserve the paint on the roof since I don't have a garage and in hawaii we have issues with the roof rusting. Anyway anyone have suggestions about whats nice? I was thinking like either gloss black, matte black or possibly a carbon fiber look...

    I'd personally go with gloss black. Many vehicles with glass roofs have a gloss black finish, so it looks somewhat normal. That, and it matches the windshield edges, so it blends well.

    Carbon fiber and/or matte black looks very "ricer" unless you have other items to match it IMO.
