Gloss, its the new black. Saw 2012 CVO Road Glide in white and black with the gloss black engine covers. Wow, it really looked nice.

I Put the wrinkle black ones on my '08 FXDF and they look great, got em on ebay for $30, take off item but they were mint and match the Fat Bob engine perfectly!

Wrinkle black, i agree it should match the other cover as stated above. But its your bike, so its your call.
