Get it done professionally if you're gonna do it, i say Gloss Black!

Hopefully you're trying to tie it all in...

Your car is white~ my car is white~ i wouldn't do it... some of the mods you see here in CL fall under the 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' category... save up for suspension/wheels first...

i think black badges on a white car looks strange. SGM looks good with black pearl.
