Default Weekend Poll: Matte Carbon Fiber or Glossy Carbon Fiber

While I was at the car wash this morning, saw my friend there washing his B6 S4. He just wrapped his trim with Matte CF! We took his rear ash tray and put it in my car to see how it would look with Platinum (he has black interior)...I do like the Matte CF. He had not seen my CF trim before and after seeing it, he likes the Glossy CF.

Matte CF in Platinum:

Currently:

A couple of pics of his Matte CF trim:

What do you guys think of Matte CF with the Platinum? Or is Glossy CF better?

I actually think the Matte CF looks really good. Much more subtle and classy imo.

Default That's tough. Glossy definitely would look better in his black interior.

The matte looks pretty good installed on the rear ash tray, but I'd have to see a piece of the matte installed on your dash trim.

Both are nice, but gloss has the edge for me

Default I say Matte because....

The glossy makes it look too flashy against the platinum, the matte, it draws your eye to it, but doesnt make it stand out, it blends in better.
