What is everyone doing about the 15+ antenna? Should you wrap that too or lease it alone? (2015 firestorm btw)

I was going to go with gloss black for the shark fin, roof and the section underneath the front grill, but was recommended by the wrap applier to go with matte black for the last bit

We all ended up doing a roof wrapping party where we did multiple roofs together. I used a 3m 1080 in gloss black on my whiteout and unfortunately I dont have much more HQ photos of the wrap but check out the last page of the thread if anyone wants to see more wrapped roofs.

I think the 3m 1080 works great buy is very finicky and easy to work with. After awhile any imperfections do go away from the vinyl being in the sun. I've had it on for a couple of week and it seems that it will be holding up for quite some time. It took us of about 3 people to complete it in about a hour and a half. With roughly 30 mins of tucking all the vinyl and making it look clean.
