Always stick with OEM.

I'm with you on the gloss. I want to eliminate the silver cube trim and chrome badging and replace with solid gloss black to make the color palette a bit simpler. I considered doing the OEM high gloss set but its got a metallic flake in it. I has to be solid for me. Going to try to spray paint a spare set i have and see how it comes out.

I’m with William and Sreten on preferring OEM, but I also hate the upkeep of matte trim, and the inevitable fading. This is actually a debate I was having with myself when I was looking at sedans.

Matte

The matte maintenance is definitely something I worry about, and I’m also going to be painting my mirrors to gloss(bc for some reason they weren’t even painted TiAg). I just feel like the gloss would match the shine of the paint, and would look gorgeous when it’s all cleaned up

Semi-gloss. :biggrin

I've always wanted to paint mine gloss black but have been too cheap and lazy to bother.

My vote is gloss though.

I got the brake pad sensor light (yellow with no exclamation). I think they're fine, but what is the warning for? Does it trigger at a certain thickness?
