matte black vs gloss for decals?

My car is silver and I'm planning on putting black decals on but I'm undecided on matte vs gloss black. At first I was gloss all the way but after looking at the car the existing black is pretty much flat, the grill and lower rear, so that is making me lean towards matte. What say you?

if you already have flat black on your car, go with the flat black

I have CGM with the factory rally stripes in the matte finish. At first I wasn't sure I liked them as the only vinyl I'd really ever seen was the shiny stuff..

But I really have grown to LOVE the matte finish... Good Luck.

I have an SIM as well and I have gloss black, but I will be changing soon to flat black. The gloss on the front bowtie just doesnt look right with the grill in my opinion. Plus I have flat black 22s waiting to be installed.
