CETA...Gloss, Semi-gloss, or flat?

I'm finally gona CETA-ize my bumper. Now I know this question has probably been asked a ton of times, but I couldn't find much doing a search. So what do you guys think, should I go gloss, semi-gloss, or flat black? This will be on Pewter WS6. I'm kind leaning towards flat...but I think maybe gloss will tie it in better with the black taillight panel. Any ideas, pics?

Thanks

I know it's not pewter but you get the idea, and it is flat black.

I think gloss would look the best but flat paint is a little easier to do sometimes. I would go with a gloss or clear on top of the black but any finish black will look good.

I like the high gloss. How much would a body shop charge to do the CETA?

They all look good, but I think glossy looks more classy.
