Is the car black? Looks like it has blue flake or something in the pics unless its just the reflection?
For the grille, If its black... go black. If its blue... stay chrome or colormatch to your color.
For the wheels, if its black... go black. If its blue... go chrome or stay silver.

Flat black is way too dull. Super glossy will have so much shine it will be too bright in sunlight and will be hard to see as black. Medium black will match the paint and have just the right amount of shine...

the car is black, it just has a weird tint on the picture. maybe there is a ghoul outside masking my camera?
here's some more pics
the windshield banner has been removed and the tint was also taken off, that **** is 8 percent and i hated it. i have 16 on now.

And the car looks much better in the pics you just posted! Just get the wheels and grilles done to match the black on the car. It will look sexy!

+1 i had 5% on my SS and loved the look, even though i had to roll the window down at night to make turns lol. It tested with a tint meter at work at like 3%. I tested mine at work on the V and its 16.....wish i could go darker but working where i work, im already too dark.
