Gloss or Matte shadow line trim?

I just ordered gloss shadowline trim and thinking maybe I should have gone with the matte.

Any opinions or pics to help me out?

Not sure of your color, but the I got the AW with the gloss and we think its a great combo. Went with gloss grills and whole pix is complete. So many cars I see in parking lots [now I notice it more] have OEM matte pillars at doors, or shadow lines matte. Its all a matter of taste...but the gloss just looks sharp with a fine wax and regular wipe downs. Only takes seconds...payback is great.

You paid the 600$ for the exterior trim pieces?? You have to take out the back window to install too...
