I don't know. I kinda see your point now about it matching up with the taillights. It still looks good but it doesn't really look like the black is deep enough...looks almost charcoal or something. Looks good but I think I may go glossy now.

Does anyone have an estimate on how much it would cost to get either of these colors done?
