Satin/flat or gloss black?

Hello-

Wanted to get opinions on my next exterior upgrades regarding my 1SS. I already have the fender hash and the SS rocker striped vinyl decals in matte black. Wanting to black out more so thinking of 1LE gloss black wheels. Also looking at a front wing splitter, ZL1 side rockers, and rear high rise deck spoiler from RPI designs. Question is, would flat black or gloss look better? Not sure if that's too much flat or is a healthy mixture of flat and gloss look good.

Appreciate your responses..

My personal take on it is, gloss is more classy or refined. Satin/flat is more purpose oriented and aggressive.

Anything I add to this car will be gloss black, purely for that sake alone.

Thanks for your response. I feel that same way to a degree. The agressive look definetly has its purposes though. That's the beautiful thing about personalizing it your own way.

I wrapped my car in matte black and accented with some spots glossy. I must say it's the best looking camaro I have seen on the rode. Plus it gets lots of comments, from people who aren't even interested in camaros. :-)

I love that look. I wish those wraps lasted a little longer. I guess not driving it a whole lot and being garaged will prolong the life.

I have done satin and gloss on different cars, the most important thing for me is that I do it all ,one or the other, and not mix it.
