Gloss vs Matte Front Grills
Anyone have some insight on what would look better on a Jerez Black car? I'm worried the gloss might look a bit funny since the rest of the car is a dark blue, but that seems to be the more popular option.

I had mate grills before and tought it looked cheap, can't be happier with the OEM black chromes, the color is a perfect match with the carbon fiber!

Totally agree. Bought matte black and took it off as soon as I OEM Black ones came in.

I have Jerez Black and went with the matte black grills but jerez black side gills. I like the grills more than stock but am wondering if I shouldn't have gone with gloss black instead. I know, I know gotta get rid of the yellow angel eyes ...

Black chrome, there will be a little contrast yes but that's a good thing.

I think the matte grill looks like you painted it yourself with a spray can. The black chrome looks much better. |
