Your opinions will shape my MINI

Okay. I'm getting ready to order guage overlays from Vinyl Styles. However i am undecide as to which one to order. Satin Black or Gloss Black. My interior is Black cloth, Anthracite headliner, Rooster Red colorline, Piano Black and Chrome line. i have the Center Stack Piano Black on order from AC. Below are sample pitures of each. What do ya'll think would look best and why. Thanks for your help

Gloss black will match your Piano black, But flat black will match ''most cars''. thats a tough one

I like the 2nd picture better does the red light up in the 2nd car? if so i like those ALOT more

Hmm, a little off topic, but does anyone have install instructions for this?

EDIT: I'd go with flat black. The glare/reflection would annoy me.

You will hardly get any glare from the gloss black. if you are not annoyed by the chrome shinning, which it does very little of anyways, then black wont bother you either. gloss black looks really fresh and fluid and would certainly match your piano black too.

Just my opinion. Nice choice of interior, i did the same except I have fluid silver dash. happy shopping!

flat black looks great with the red outline.
