Default LOD Rock Sliders Finish ?

Of those JK owners that have gotten the LOD Rock Sliders.
What finish did you order ? The Matte Black or the Texture Black ?
Their web site doesn't show you what the choices look like.
A photo of the LOD slider would ge great, if you know it's finish. Thanks.

i went with matte black on my bumpers, its more of a smooth black
the textured black is something that would more resemble your stock bumpers and fenders, if an x or rubi

Thanks for the pics of your LOD Rock Slider.
Now does anyone have a photo of the textured ones.
Or has anyone got these, even without a pic.

I've got the textured ones, they are not that different than matte. The texture is a matte finish with a little orange peel basically (hardly noticeable). They look great and according to LoD they are easier to touch up, or maybe they said scratches are less noticeable, who cares! It's hard to imagine that anyone would be disappointed witht he texture finish.

NOW : Matte 3 Textured 2
I went with the textured ones myself. Just put the order in with Northridge 4x4
I still think LOD's site could have put some high res. photos of the finishs.
To everyone that posted photos , thank you for your help.
It's hard to really tell the different on the forum pics. though.

When I commented a couple months back about LOD not offering a semi-gloss black finish for a rear bumper that would match my front Shrockworks bumper, the LOD rep replied on the forum that I could have called them and worked out a finish to suit my needs. So, you might discuss what finish you want with LOD.
