I would like to do my first mod but unsure if I should go with the Glossy or Matte Black kidney grills. Wanted to get some feedback on which would look better on Platinum gray.

Thanks in advanced!

Looks like its going to be glossy black!

Corey..where did you purchase yours from?

I found that Trinity sells only the matte so anyone know of another reputable vendor selling the glossy?

I was planning on getting mine here. Maybe someone got them at a better price somewhere else. If you did please share.
