Rear blackout decal - matte or gloss?
 
A while back I saw another yellow Camaro & it had a blackout decal on the trunk lid. I think it was gloss, but I can't remember.
I want to get one, but I'm not sure if I should get matte to match the rally stripes, or get gloss. I'm leaning towards the gloss, but I don't want it to look out of place with the stripes. Any suggestions or pics?

Go with the gloss!!! You can use turtle wax ice and it will shine up you're stock strips to match up!!!

personally i prefer the matte look over gloss, but its really your decision

my suggestion would be to go with the one that will match your stripes best

Guys, somehow when I was brushing the lint and dust off my car I received what looks like scratches on my stripes. Is there anyway to get these off or do I have to buy a new hood stripe?

i went with matte to match my racing stripes and other vinyl work I had done (gills, gas cap and front blackout)

I was looking at the Stillen splitter thread & really liked the look of the front blackout (beneath the headlights) too, so I may get that also. I'm definitely getting gill decals. I think the gills may look more realistic as gloss & I'd probably prefer the front blackout to be gloss too, so I'll probably go with gloss for the taillight blackout.
From gocougs' post, can black be waxed to to a gloss or semi-gloss?

Well I used that turtle wax ice on the black and it gave it a nice shine...

I went with Gloss and I think it looks good.
