If you plan on staying with your black/white theme the reflective white would be the ideal color

im gonna vote for white.

but i'm also gonna vote for you to repaint the berger satin black. the flat black look does nothing positive for your car's appearance. it just looks faded, like tires with no dressing.

Ya, that looks good but it has to be done on gloss black for sure. The flat black just looks too unfinished...

i think beacause you have the tail lights done in a deeper black, right next to the berger, it makes the panel look like a lighter shade, almost making it look faded in comparison. where as if you didnt have the lights done it'd look better alone. the gloss would look really good with the lights though

Hmm yeah that is a good possibility because they are really shiny. I wanted that because i hate when people niteshade and it comes out flat and makes the taillights look dull.
