agreed...go with high gloss black if the price is right.
Then again you'll have to change out the door pillars as well, if you go with the black gloss

Though I agree the glossy is beautiful and looks better, I opted for the matte black because it was more forgiving in the long term for hand and fingerprints. I try to use the matte area to shut the door so I don't scratch up the painted handles! Am I anal or what!
