Default Paint vs. Decal

I'm considering some style updates to my torch red convertible: Paint the hood black between the fogs (gloss+clear coat) black CDC chin spoiler and black out rear panel between tail lights, add the lcd sequential tail lights. I've got critics telling me to use the "boss" flat black decal instead.

Any suggestions?

It's a matter of personal preference, but I think the gloss black might look better on your red car. Of course the decals would be less expensive-jmho. Good luck!

I got the same color as your car, I used the flat black on it and it looks awesome. I think that the flat black looks better than gloss black. On that color.

Paint runs around $1000-1500
Decal $200, $450 to have installed
JMO I've seen flat, it looks awsome!
