Matt or Glossy vinyl stripes

I'm taking the plunge and getting my stripes done. I wanted to know if there are any benefits to of going with Matt or Glossy. Does one tend to hold up longer or look better longer. Does one look more like paint.

I would just like to hear from any of you guys and gals who have had the striped done in either finish.

Attached is the look I'm going for.

Thanks in advanced.

it all depends on the quality of the stripes and the install. I paid 900 for the white one because they had to be specially cut to match the shaker. The blue one I did myself and never again. the wide stripes and the contours were a bear. I would pay to have them installed next time. Make sure they are using quality material but both quotes seem fair since the newer stangs have so many contours to deal with.

I would say Gloss, but I am biased.

White stripes should definitely be gloss. I'd only do matte with black.

Thanks for all the input on this. I'm going with the Gloss white. Anyone know who sells a GT500 styled rocker stripe like this one? Something with no lettering or logos in at all.

Big Worm Graphix here in Fort Worth does. They're a vendor here on this website.
