Gloss or matte rear blackout panel?

Pretty simple question. I want to order a rear blackout panel from BigWorm but I'm not sure if I want the matte black or gloss black set

What do you guys think?

I say matte too. I was considering this option too since I already have matte black stripes.

Depends on the what other accents you have on the car. If you have pieces that are gloss black, then get gloss black and vis versa. I had matte stripes, blackout, etc until I got my new rims, then I went gloss. Just looks better to me now.

Ya, if you have gloss black rims getting a gloss black blackout might help keep things consistant throughout the car.

Car is exactly as my Sig picture shows. It will not receive any other black accents. If the wheels are ever changed they will be chrome or silver painted.

Seems sounds. I'm not adding any other black to the car and the general consensus seems to be matte.
