Matte or Glossy Eyelids

I was planning in putting eyelids on my Black SVT and I dunno what would look better. Matte black or Glossy black. Anybody out there have one or the other they could show me? I am leaning towards the gloss but the matte would stand out from the body a bit more.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

I would never put matte black eyelids on a gloss black car...
These are the ones I made for mine and many other cars.

^ that looks nice.

Like I said the only reason I would do the matte finish is because it would stand out from the rest of the body. But I think I am set on the gloss. Off to order a little bit of vinyl!!
