Just got my new beast a week ago. Love it!
Looking to have colored ppf installed (I don't like the fingerprints, etc..)
I'm set on black but having a hard time deciding on glossy or satin.
I think both look good in pictures/videos (I have not seen in person).

Can those of you who have done this to your CT (or those who are first hand familiar) give me some
pros/cons of each?

Thanks in advance

I can only speak to the fact we've done a few satin/matte installs - it looks great. Personally, I think the gloss black is just too 'over the top' due to the angle of the panels, it's a giant black mirror!

Here's a more thorough video where you can see more of the satin/matte black:

I am getting mine wrapped Satin Black next week. I chose Satin because glossy (while it looks great) is just too much and too reflective for my tastes. And Matte is just too dull, so I went in the middle. But, to each their own.

That's a tough call! Most of our clients love the satin black for that tough Batman vibe, but gloss black really makes the Cybertruck’s body pop with a mirror-like finish. Honestly, any black on the Cybertruck looks badass. Also, be sure to check out some unique products you won't find anywhere else: Explore here.
