I honestly think that gloss headlight buckets and grill look cheap. I did mine in satin and I'm real happy with it.

My buddy painted his gloss balck and they didn't look to hot. If you want it to look right, go with the satin or even flat black. Besides a non gloss color is extremely easy to paint.
