Not convinced gloss black would look any better than stock unless there were other parts of the car the same to sort of balance things out.
The fact that it is sort of the same gloss as the grill kind of balances it on stock but it does certainly stand out as different when seen from behind.
Yeah, not something I would do personally as I don't mind the finish on the rear bumper - I've seen BRZ with the mustache painted gloss black and that looked good, but I think the texture on the rear bumper might make it look off since it is rather a large piece, but I was just trying to be helpful - up to the OP to decide what they want to do!

OP you might want to consider detailing the rear bumper and adding a trim sealant - I do my whole car about twice a year, and the sealant makes a big difference in how dark and rich all of the black trim looks.
