Gloss or Matte Finish for Diffuser and Side Skirts?

I am installing some side skirts and a new rear diffuser on my Camaro Fifty and wanted some feedback.

Do I go with the gloss black finish or should I do a matte black for the diffuser and skirts?

Trying to get a feel for what would look better with the Nightfall Gray color.

I wouldn't do matte color with NGM. It will look like a primered part.

I'd go gloss or maybe carbon fiber wrap.

Personally I would do a low gloss, definitely not matte. They have satins that give off a semi gloss look. That is if you can find someone who sells that color. Or have someone paint them i’d go that route if not then gloss for sure.

Glad I asked lol

I already have the parts in gloss and was thinking of getting them painted.

Saved me money and a bad decision lol
