The issue with black is that if it's not the same kind of black, it really stands out. Its like wearing a suit with black pants and a ever-so-slightly not as black suit jacket.

The gloss black will probably match nearly perfectly when new, but I have no idea how these are painted (single stage vs multi stage paint process) and so am a little sketched by how the paint will hold up. These are definitely made in China with probably little to no quality control. If they start fading/oxidizing, it looks like absolute shit.

The faux CF is a little easier to deal with, since if the clear starts yellowing/oxidizing, you can just sand that shit down and just apply some more clear. There's no paint to actually deal with.
