Black+black. Make sure you go with gloss it looks better then mate black on black cars.

I completely agree with the gloss looking much better on black cars. I'm pretty sure this is what I am going to do.

My car is Black Saph and I can't decide between the matte black and gloss black either! I'm leaning towards gloss at this point.
