Hey guys, I'm curious what do you think about wrapping the chrome. Should I go with Gloss black, Gloss black metallic or a matte black?

I went gloss black with mine. I think gloss back would look nice on yours. I have also seen others that went matte black. Not a huge difference between them two.

the chrome trim isnt that big that from a distance you wouldn't be able to tell unless you're up close.........

but id also go with glass black.......when it gets dirty itll turn matte black by it self so you get 2 colors!!!!!

I disagree with the above comment. Its one of the most noticeable things and favorite mods I did on my 15' RC. I think you should consider the brand/ quality the wrap and other options apart from gloss black such as brushed metallic black, carbon fiber, etc. I chose carbon fiber for mine and its noticeable right away but as you get closer, it looks even better since you can see the weave pattern. I did my roof in gloss black to mirror the panoramic roofs which come on many cars stock. Heres a link to mine:
