Does the gloss look okay? I have a silver FJ that I painted the top matte black so I am hoping these will still work.

IMO, the gloss is pretty shiny compared to the matte look of the OEM blackout mirrors that I have on my current 2014 UETT (Ultimate Edition Trail teams) FJ.

Kind of... They are NOT glossy, have a fine flat texture. Very easy to install on my 4 door 2013 wrangler.

I am a satin fan, gloss looks cheap to me, satin give a rich look. If that makes sense.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

they have a black finish but its not painted. So you will have to paint them. But they look pretty good.

I would consider it semi gloss finish...there is a shine but not a high gloss shine in my opinion.

Some have glossy and some are matte I've gotta both and it's not that glossy at all they both look amazing like hand painted very pretty. U can always return it if u don't like it or find one in the 2$,3$5$ rage they seem to go on great sales now too I took a chance to and it def paid off I love it :) if I could send a pic I totally would sorry

Yes. I purchased for the same reason. You don't get a perfect color match, the paint is more a silver than chrome. But for small scratches and chips it is OK.

They are gloss. After a few winters from the chemicals on the road for ice, I had them poweder coated with matte black and look way better.

You are better off running another search specifying the 'front'. The texture and sheen on this ones is different from the originals so it will not match perfectly. Also, I might rub a bit if they are from different batches.

I havent yet. So far they look rook really really good. I would recommend them. Make the front of the car look much better

It is gloss, not high gloss, but it is gloss. I have matte fender flares on my Tundra and its close enough for me. Installation was a bit more than anticipated, but wasn't that bad. Took me about an hour. There were no instructions.

When I ordered it I was confused too. The semi gloss Iis textured and is awesome! I'm very glad I bought it and it is easy to put on( bults on) . U will need some help simply because it is heavy. 100x better then stock plastic. It was a good price and I like it more then the expensive ones out there. Hope this helps. Ps get the back bumper and backup lights! The back finders flow into bumper. Jeeps should come like this setup

Good morning Russelk777 Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

Gloss. This bumper is quality I bought and installed myself about 3 months ago and haven't regretted it yet. Makes your jeep stand out
