This has probably been asked before but maybe not in this way.
My car is stock silver gray metallic. Now I want to buy the shadowline trim and will probably buying the black grille later this month.
The thing is I don't know if I should get the the trim and grille in matte black or glossy black? The mirror trim and the trim between my windows that I have currently on my car - are they matte or glossy? I looked at them today but I couldn't figure out. I'm thinking they're matte since they weren't that shiny. So what are they?
If they're matte - I'll probably end up buying the matte shadowline trim and grille from Trinity..but if they're glossy - then I'll probably end up buying the shadowline glossy trim from Trinity and OEM grille from BMW.
I want everything on the car to match - having the trim mixed with matte and glossy black wouldn't look that good :/

 

Go gloss! Look through my posts and you can see how mine came out. I love them.

 

You painted your trim to glossy? How much do shops charge to paint the trim?

 

matte black is what is on the sport package e60s. the trim around the mirror and the middle piece between the side windows is matte as well. if you are thinking about grills with the matte black shadowline, we do have our matte black grills in stock as well

 

All the black trim pieces are matte black with a very slight sheen to them.
Go matte black. It looks more aggressive and a better match in my opinion.

 

I have matte window trims currently and leaning toward gloss at the moment.

 

Well I ordered the matte black shadowline from Tischer of BMW. And I'll end up ordering the matte black grille from Trinity later

 

why do you hate the matte? doesn't it match better then gloss?

 

I dont hate it, I just wanna change it up after i've seen the clean look on a 7series and gave it a thought.

 

oh i see..i thought i read "i hate matte" instead of "i have matte"
