I think black will set it off the car. It will go nice with the bottom line kit, tints and all the other little bits on it.

I would go for some thing inbetween , if only those options i would go matt , gloss will be a bit too showy plus look dirty very easily if that makes sense , the good thing about black if they get scratched they are easy to touch up , is black satin ? in between ? i started doing my own as my leader the mrs keeps kerbing them, but i'm happy to say does not happen as much now

De chroming the inside of the head lights would be a nice touch
