FIRE orange III Stealth or Gloss PPF?

My 23 G82 has been in storage 6 months while i was temporarily in europe. Only has 2.7k miles on it.

Going to get PPf in 4 weeks when back in states.

Any recommendations between stealth/matte or high gloss?

I am torn-love the shine but like the matte look.

Love the satin PPF on my Black Sapphire G81, but Fire Orange looks insane gloss.

If you’re going to PPF, I’d go gloss, it looks amazing as it is.

I'd go gloss. I feel like matte ppf on Fire Orange would wash out the color.

You already have a killer looking color that other turn to vehicle wrap to get, why not enhance it with gloss? That's what I would recommend.

Thanks all - yeah think it has to stay gloss. That stealth does look good, but think I may not want it in 1-2 yrs. Gloss it is!

The Vorsteiner boot spoiler? Easy to fit, I assume it needs screws not just tape? What's the quality of it like?

It was tape, but I used heavier duty 3m than what came w it. Took all but 20 minutes. Most time spent on removing tape from factory spoiler
