Going to vinyl window trim. Gloss or matte. Pics inside

crazydrummer · 06-06-2010, 11:15 PM

Hey guys, planning on getting my trim vinyled over (if i can find a shop...might do it myself otherwise). I was wondering what you guys think. Shadowline like gloss or matte black. Car is a sgm e90. Wheels are probably going to stay silver for a while but might eventually make them black. Grill will eventually be changed to match whichever i choose. To be honest i'm really leaning towards gloss. Let me know what you guys think, here is the car.

If i do, do it myself what brand vinyl should i buy?

btw the tint is getting changed to 15% this week aswell

Gloss, but i say keep the chrome. Looks good as is

The chrome does look very good. But I think matte would go better than gloss.

I'd keep the chrome, but want to make it look more agressive/sporty. More like the 400hp car its going to be by the end of the summer

Gloss would be cool

SGM with Matte Vinyl window trim.

I love it. Way better matte than gloss for the SGM in my opinion.

depends on what grills you get. match them to your grill.

Go with the matte black, and make the grills matte black too. The ellipsoid wheels look great in stock colour and lowered with glossy rubber
