I love gloss black engine bays, so I voted for that. I've never seen a flat black one. I don't usually care for flat black anything (looks plastic-ish to me), but I'd have to see one before I could say for sure.

IMHO, flat black should never be used on ANYthing for appearance purposes, case closed! nay-sayers, you shut up!

either satin black, or gloss black, both will look good. the only other suggestion would be body colored, clear coated to match with the exterior, as opposed to the non-cleared paint you get from the factory.
