Matte or Gloss black rear valence?

I'm going to be painting my rear valence soon and I'm stuck between gloss and matte finish. My car is a DG coupe, I've been leaning towards gloss black but I want to hear other peoples opinions. Also, I've seen alot of pictures of a matte finish, but not many of gloss, but any picture will help. Thanks

I was considering doing mine too but I have a LR that's completely stock so I'm not sure how it would look.

My LR is stock also (save for the grille and some lights on the front), but a painted rear valance will look very OEM on a stock car (or as a mod on a heavily modified car- it goes both ways). I was following a newer model Camry SE which comes equipped with a factory aerodynamic kit and it had a black valance, though it was either black plastic or painted matte/satin black.
