I would do matte black for sure.

BMdblU · 12-25-2009, 11:42 PM

Matte. Here is my Matte theme (wheels aside) for an idea.

Deff Matte Black. Polished is too shiny

I just put some Matte Black grilles on my Titanium Silver 07 Coupe. AWESOME looking. I think they look good on all cars. Meaner and Bolder.

just my .02

im thinkin matte too. i got carbon fiber ones on there right now...but they are bubbling and are starting to look terrible. thanks

bimmergixxer · 12-26-2009, 09:34 AM

I painted mine matte, but then clear coated them so it is in between matte and polished since I could not decide either which looked best plus matte needs to be protected.

Menno11 · 12-27-2009, 05:05 AM

I went with the Carbon Fiber Vinyl, looks great on the SG!

Craig@SupremePower · 12-27-2009, 12:14 PM

gloss black imo..

E92-Lighting · 12-27-2009, 04:20 PM

matte black hands down

perrymaxima · 12-27-2009, 06:20 PM

Can't go wrong with either one in my opinion they're inexpensive so I would say just try both and switch whenever you feel like going for a differnt look...
