Matte vs Gloss Grill on Space Gray

Im debating whether to get the iND matte grill or the M performance OEM version. Does anybody have a side by side comparison on Space Gray?

Good call!!! That made the decision right there. I would have known that if I wasn't in a loaner.

Yes...the only thing that would keep me away would be upkeep and having to clean in between the slats.

Gloss black any day of the week. Typically matte black tends to look cheap-ish to me on cars.

Garage List
For cars with M Sport/shadowline trim, black gloss is the only way...

Surprisingly enough, the slats between the slats don't get that dirty, at least not to the point of being visibly dirty if I don't specifically get in there with a wash cloth.
Using a normal wash mitt to get in between the bigger slats must get soap and some incidental scrubbing in to the smaller slats. I've only used a wash cloth to get every slat clean twice now.
