What is your preference? I took a look at both at the local stealer, but am debating if the extra $790 is worth it. Any thoughts from you folks out there? The Jet Black seems a bit shinier, but it might just be the cleanliness of the vehicle.

tex94 is infamous around these parts
JBM has a reputation for showing better between washes because it hides the dirt more. Pure black is probably the best on a pristine vehicle but it takes a lot f care t keep it that way.

JBM will hide swirls a little better when compared to flat black. Having said that nothing matches flat black when it comes the "wet look". I did not have the guts to go for it as even little swirls bother me (and I already see quite a few on my JBM) despite my **** car wash techniques.

JBM. More dimension and I love the look, for the win.

I have JBM, and love it. Like others have noted, it hides dirt and swirls better and when clean it is gorgeous.

I have to add that I actually consider it a more a super dark metallic blue, when the sun hits the car it just glistens.
