Exterior/Design help!! matte wrap with gloss or matte carbon fiber panels???

Hey guys, going to be doing a satin charcoal vinyl wrap on my car (mazda rx-8) so it is very close to a matte finish, im trying to decide if i should finish my carbon fiber panels (hood, roof, trunk, rear doors, diffuser) in a gloss finish for contrast or in a matte finish for consistency. the wheels will be finished in metallic gloss black (volk racing diamond black) what would you think looks better???

PLEEASE do i need matte colored cars (painted or vinyl doesn' t matter) with any kind of carbon fiber parts. im having a hard time visualizing if the matte or gloss carbon fiber will look better. cost wise this will be about the same for me. as i wont be using actul dry carbon parts but id be getting them matte finished instead of gloss finished from the factory.
