Gloss Black or Matte Black

I have an Alpine White BMW, and I am going to replace my grills. Which do you guys think would look better? the gloss black or matte black?

gloss... by a mile! That is, unless you're doing a full matte setup (wheels etc)...

Gloss looks superb on a white car, Matte looks great on a black car. It's all about having the best "contrast".

Let me know if you need any help deciding or maybe pictures to give you a better idea.
