Depends on the color your truck and style you for. I prefer flat black.

gloss black. it'll look flat anyway once you get a layer of dust/dirt on it.

I have a black ranger edge. I just don't know what I'll end up liking better. The flat black might look weird cuz it's a different black than my truck but then the gloss black has some chrome and I absolutely hate chrome.

Exactly what I was going to say!! I have gloss black...and to keep them glossy, I'd have to wipe them off every place I stop. And gloss looks better anyway.

yeah i learned the hard way with my old billet grill that i got powdercoated in flat black. that was a mistake. once it was dirty it looked like shit. like an old BBQ grill platter. gloss & satin black are alot more forgiving
