Either way looks good, kind of your choice on if you want it to stay shiny or be flat. I know this doesn't help haha

I like the gloss look since it looks more stock I guess you could say.

Just lower, rims, and possibly the OEM lip add on.

Matte.

I think it all depends on the look you are going for: Gloss if you still want the bumper to stand out, Matte to make that 'hour glass look' more prominent - looking at the entire picture.

Personally like the grill as a whole, makes the car look more (imma-eat-you-up) beastly.
