Flat matches the upper trim line better, in my opinion at least. Gloss would match black mirror caps/a-pillar and window edge blacking though..

I did flat:

yeah what he said....most go with Matte, but i think Gloss looks good on some cars. Red cars can go both ways, but i tend to go with gloss on the black cars. give us a call and i would happy to help you.
