Did these ever get installed? I'm debating on throwing some bed graphics on mine but can't decide on matte black, semi gloss or glossy is the right route to go. I'm leaning more towards the semi gloss or glossy. It's hard on the tuxedo black color

I had a 12 Tuxedo Scab with the factory graphics.
They were barely noticeable. In fact, most people never noticed them, especially on the hood.
The factory color wash a mix of matte and semi glossy, again that was even less of a contrast and it too was hardly noticeable the graphics were two tone. At night or overcast or cloudy nothing. In bright sunny days, still hardly noticeable. Do NOT Go with the black, whether matte,semi,or gloss, IMO a waste of $$$, useless and unnoticeable. Go with the gray similar to the original fender flare OEM color, in matte, semi or gloss, better a combo of matte n glossy ,even though your fender flares aren't OEM color now. The gray will not stand out much at all, but you will be able to notice em. IMO, exactly how you wanted.

Josh at rappygraphics.com is the man to hook you up...

Check out this thread 4 pics of what I did to mine... a combination of matte and Satin and reflective if you like will get you some nice looks against the tuxedo black...

I personally like a combination of matte and satin with the touch of reflective for a wow factor...mho

I also fully wrapped my Tux in gloss white and wrapped the fender flares in satin black
