Matte or gloss black grille surround??
Which one do you guys think would look best on an obsidian IS250? Either matte black vinyl wrap or the gloss black vinyl wrap (aerotect)?

Well at first I was gonna go with matte but then I saw that aerotect also had gloss that would blend in more. So now I can't decide which to get

aerotect does this?!
can you buy the vinyl wrap online and do it yourself or do you have to go there for them to do it for you?

i think gloss would look better on obsidian. matte would blend in nicely with an SGM. but definitely aerotect FTW!

color match ftw, i have matte black only cuz it was a 10 dollar diy project =P, i plan to color match the grill surround in the spring, just didnt feel like paying a bill for paint at that moment, both looks nice tho i guess it all depends on your theme
