I want to have my chrome window trim vinyl wrapped and am undecided as to which to get...black or matte. I have a silver gray 550i...

I went with gloss black, since it's more unique than the matte (matte is stock afterall)

I think on Silver, Matte would be the best option. But neither of both look bad though.

M's have gloss while non-M's have matte, I personally like the matte more.

I'm having the same dilemma. Do you guys think it would look weird if the car has matte black kidneys and gloss trim? I'm probably going with the matte trim as weell
