I can say that brushed stainless is better than gloss black as far as reflection/glare. Matte black and wrinkle are obviously best, but I wouldn't hesitate to have a totally brushed front end.
lol, they are currently hanging after being epoxy coated. will have to figure some thing out for the backings... tape the chrome off and spray i guess.
How are are you with a soldering iron? Splicing is no big deal but can get bulky if you use crimp connectors. IF you have to crimp, try to find (or make) non-insulated butt.splice connectors and use heat shrink tubing to insulate. Much slimmer. Also, remember to stagger your cuts so the splices are in different locations. Otherwise you end up with a big knot/cluster that can be hard to tuck back into the loom/frame.

Solder is the way to go. As talented as Cvaria is I bet an hour of practice will get him up to speed. A few crimp tools never hurt either!!!
This link has good illustrations of solder and crimp splices, it will also put you to sleep
