Suggestion for Shadowline trim

I have an Alpine White 640i with chrome trim and looking to replace with black. However, not sure if I should go matte black or gloss black?

Anyone have any pictures of either?

I just did gloss black vinyl this weekend and I was blown away by how great it looks. Definitely recommend gloss! I'll post pics if you want...

I got unlazy and included pics. (Doing this via mobile is a process; there were 3 originally, but at this point it is going to be whatever it is.)

RE: wrapping: I also did the roof, side fins, and door handles (not sure about handles still, but it's easily removed and was going to be the only chrome in the car).

Thanks MMXIII. It looks great and especially your roof!! Another question, do you have a black grill, and if so, is it gloss too? I currently have a black grill with chrome slats but also ordered the non-M badge black grill but it's matte not gloss.

I was debating on getting the matte shadow line trim b/c of the matte black M grill I have, but now you have me considering getting the gloss black M grill with the gloss Shadowline trim.

Also, how long did it take you to remove and put on the trim?
