I think this essentially depends on how do you want it look like. I'd say if you want a contrast you should go with gloss or if you the trims to blend in, then definitely matte or satin. Hope this helps.

Both are nice options.
Gloss would add some nice contrast but matte black would blend in with the paint and wheels.

I think it looks good in chrome as it matches the lip on the wheels. (Your car looks great as is haha) If you're planning on blacking out everything then I would go matte.

A couple of fast cars.
I like the chrome, but I'm biased.

Thank you everyone for the input I'm still pretty stuck, I'm considering doing the grill also if this is the case does that change people opinions such as should they be the same or can they be different?

Thanks but I can't really tell which one it is, but it's matte correct?

Since you mentioned it and I had taking a look closer to it, I'm not really sure now.... The pillars are in matte and the trims are probably in regular gloss black would be my guess because they give that shine in the light.
