Matte or Not?

So my wife backed into my car and needless to say i need a new grill, hood, and bumper paint.

I want an OEM style hood. My question is do i go with the new matte finish from SEIBON or the regular wet look? Also do i go with SEIBON at all or do i go with VIS?

My other question is do i replace the front bumper while I'm at it? I like the K2bumper but i scrape the crap out of my bumper as it is, so I'm worried about putting a bumper on the car that is even lower.

The car in question


And the parts

Personally, I think matte/unpainted CF hoods (CF hoods look OK on black) are ghetto. Painted without a doubt.
However, it's your car.

Get a new bumper, but you'll def have to be careful, especially if you go with something FG like the K2 or the Inven.
