Default Gloss or Matte Black on the rear blackout panel on Mineral Gray

I need some help deciding on what kind of finish I should get for a rear blackout panel. I was leaning towards Matte Black.

I guess I was the first to vote and it is for the matte black. I think it would look great!

Go with gloss unless you plan on putting matte on your hood.

Kinda depends on what other accent you are planning to do. If you are changing your spoiler, match to that........

The gloss you can wax, flat you can't. I did mine gloss white because I like contrast. Looks really cool. To me the back of the car (stock) is too much of one color.

I have the Mineral Grey with matte BOSS stripes and I had the spoiler painted matte black also. However I have the gloss black light covers and blackout panel. I like the contrast, and yes its easy to clean and wax.

My co-worker has a Vista Blue/Black vert with black stripes. He just got the magnetic deck blackout piece. It is black matte and looks very good - for 40 bucks. It was not what I was expecting. I thought it would bea solid plastic piece but it is like a soft magnetic piece - like a refrigerator magnet. You can remove it or install it - peel - in 5 seconds. Iplan on getting this for my satin silver vert. Again, it is 40 bucks and looks goodenough for me. Better than a sharpie.

Becareful using magnets on painted surfaces. I have seen magnets that have been on a car for awhile, like the 'support our troops' ones that after they were taken off they still left and image where the magnaet was. It discolored the paint.

^^ thats not because the magnet changed the paint, its because its kept on so long the rest of the car faded in color.

And I voted Matte, I think that would look the best....
