Are all black GM rally stripes matte finish?

Are all factory black rally stripes the same matte finish? I beleive this to be true, however I see some cars on here with gloss black stripes (I assume they are aftermarket). Bought some GM stripes for my black car and want to make sure they are the right sheen. Thanks in advance...

Many here have had their rallys painted...see below. The glossy stripes that you have seen are the painted ones.

they are, the only flat/matte color is the black and any glossy black you see is either aftermarket stripes or painted

Doesn't matter whether it is flat, satin or matte. They all look cheap and take away from the looks of the car.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I usually don't like stripes, but on this car, they just look wicked.

I remember being the bearer of that bad news last year

There are aftermarket gloss reproductions out there too.
