Matte Black or Gloss Black Grills/gills/badge
What looks better?
I have Interlagos Blue E93 M3 with Black int. Going to do the whole black/blue theme and not sure if Matte or gloss would look better. Any thoughts? -Kyle |

I have gloss and love it but that's personal preference.

Gloss. I originally purchase matte and returned it because it seemed cheap. The gloss fits in better with the other parts of the car and just looks higher quality.

I would think about that first as it should all tie in together. If youre going to do a matte black wheel, you may want matte black accents etc.....

I just removed my matte black grills and side gills. They were starting to fade and look cheap. I went to Tischer and got the OEM Edition Black Chrome set. Could not be happier! I also added the OEM Carbon Splitters and the Oem Carbon Fiber Spoiler at the same time. What a difference. The car looks nasty. A Jet Black ZCP coupe. A little bit of Dinan, Borla and Active. Car is awesome.
