Believe me, go with what you like, it's going to make you happy, not others. I personally think it transforms the car to have a meaner tougher look, just make sure it gets done right if you decide to go for it.

I wanted to do it to mine, but got talked out of it, had the lower portion painted though.

But if I were to do it it would be in satin finish and not gloss, JMO
