Just for the hell of it. Thought maybe the bit of contrast might be an interesting look and my summer wheels have a satin look to them so figured there might be some alignment in theme. But you are right, most of the trim is glossy so it's probably the better bet.

I may even just vinyl wrap it gloss black after the PPF so that it fully matches the rest of the gloss black accents. I'm not ultimately a fan of the CF look but there really aren't any options for front lips that aren't the M-Perf lip.
Yes, I feel you on the carbon fiber, seems every car mod nowadays has to be in carbon fiber. I similarly thought that when mine gets damaged I can paint it gloss black. I paid $1200+ for it, so might as well enjoy the carbon finish first

If you think about it pretty funny that a 5000 LB truck, has carbon fiber accessories
