Gloss or Matte grill, paint emblem?

Hey, guys, I did the search, so don't hate. I am getting my grill painted next week and wanted to see some pictures of gloss or matte finish on a black coupe, also leave an emblem chrome or paint it as well? Thank you.

i have a black coupe and just purchased the gloss black grille and the emblem painted the same color also, hopefully i'll get it soon to show you what it looks like.
heres a pic i found in google, do a search there, the car will look great with a black grill.

I suggest Paintmatch Obsidian Black Grill with Chrome Emblem like member Black Betty. He has done an outstanding job with his G37. I love the Black and chrome theme.

Gun Metal, or some type of dark gray. Don't rock the "murdered out" look.

black grille with a chrome emblem looks the best IMO

murdered out looks gross...but murdered out is also completely blacking out everything so leaving the emblem chrome and some other key pieces on your G chrome wouldn't really be murdered out as long as its done tastefully

here is an old shot of mine FWIW
