What do new S4 tail lights look like?

I'm going to paint my super faded S4 tail lights and was wondering what the paint looked like.

Satin, gloss, matte, etc.?

I think a gloss would look good, but it wouldn't match the trim. I like to keep my car looking stock so I'll go with whatever was stock.

I believe it was high gloss - I think the plastic edging is high polish.

Ok, thanks. So I guess it doesn't match the trim.

I'll take a pic next time the camera is out in the shop. I have 2 NOS S4 Passengrs

you would be surprised, but a LOT of people do not know that! Luckily I do, because I used to watch this show called "Trucks". A lot of the builds on the show used rare NOS parts. Those parts were better than the replicas by miles!

no, they don't match the side moulding.
