I think the combination of flat and gloss can look very cool when done correctly.

I have to agree with all who said paint it the color YOU! want, I could never ask for someone else to give me options on a paint color.

Are they also painting the door jambs on the car? If they're not you're going to want to stick with black...
If I had a free paint job, I would paint the car something obnoxious and non-stock, like bright orange or bright green. Maybe some shade of blue.

Foose did a car (Mustang?) in gloss black with flat black 6" stripes, pinstriping separating the different "colors".
Looked good under TV lights anyway.

I LOVE flat black on many cars, but not the C5. I might try a satin black, you need a little bit of sheen on those curves

Have always loved the "Black Rose" color on late C4's. Would love to see that color on a C5!!
