djrm Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi everyone! Picked up my wheels from Danny (D4XNY) on Sunday and fitted them, I think they have totally transformed my car! So happy! Now in order to make the black of the wheels fit a bit better, I will be having some bodyparts wrapped in black but I can't decide whether to go Matt Black or Gloss... So the question is, based on the image at the bottom, do we think: OPTION A: Matt black roof and front lip / grille OPTION B: Matt black roof and GLOSS lip / grille OPTION C: Gloss black roof, lip & grille I am swaying toward matt black roof and gloss black grille / lip but am unsure whether it will look odd if everything isn't the same? Opinions please! Thanks!!! PHOTOS: (iPhone so not the best Quality) And the Photochop with the roof and lip done as well... Thanks!

Blacky Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Personally I dont like mixing gloss and matt but then I like shiny cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown7758 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 my Z has gloss top half, i think if i was keeping the colour/kit and getting wheels, it would be gloss top, lip and grill as the wheels bring it all together nicely but as is in the car world, personal choice and opinion should win every time as its your pride and joy and your going to live with it Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have seen a few matt black roofs lately and I do think they look good even on a gloss car but I'm really not sure still! I might go to the wrapping place and get them to lay some samples on the roof for me to see what it will ACTAULLY look like... Hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would say gloss, I think the matt fad as been and gone, when you want your car looking stunning then gloss is the way to go in my opinion - but like a previous poster said, your opinion is what counts. Or you could just carbon fiber wrap the whole car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would leave it as it is, wheels look great with the GM body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Is your car Blade? I say if you're doing it go gloss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking good Ryan... The photoshop looks mint, go with that scheme in gloss. It would also look good on a canvas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys! I am thinking gloss on gloss now as well actually after looking through some images on google... Attak - thanks for posting that photo! Really does look good and the silver centre caps are a great idea as well Marzman - I already have wayyyyyyy too many canvass of my cars in my house!

brown7758 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 just to throw this in there (mostly because i like it ) try photoshopping your pic so that the pillars and wing mirrors are gloss to see what you think.. just another angle to make your choice tougher also, if that looks good, gloss black Z burgers may really set it off with this though, the boot gets done aswell.. i think because i have a Nismo rep spoiler that has a gloss base and silver top it makes a Difference.. same again though, this was done before i got her but i love the look Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Stew - yes my car is Blade and I think I am going to go for Gloss... Brown - I will probably do a little photoshop tomorrow from a different angle just to see but I really don't want the pillars done. I am 100% certain that I will be doing only the roof and front lip. I want it to be very subtle and almost look OEM like some new cars these days that have black roofs. As for the black badges, I'm not too keen on them and I don't want to start messing about heating badges off of my car.. I have done that in the past and messed things up!!! lol Thanks for the ideas and input thought dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
