To me, satin black goes best with a mean/pissed-off sort of look. A nice set of polished 15's with slicks/skinnies would go well IMO.

Looks like you already had something in mind when you had it painted.
I like it, but we all know these things have a way of evolving as we go!

Well, I think matte black looks great on lead sleds and rat rods but just looks unfinished on most everything else. But, you're the only one who needs to like it.

Looks great, you just need 5% on the windows and black out the lights

Resembles my 94 Z28 DD that I painted for $25

Very different and interesting. I like where you are going with it but you def need to finish up the rest of the appearance to really make it work. Lose the chrome snowflakes, black out the headlights on the inside, clean/spray paint the fender wells black and a few more touches and it will look perfect. Props to being different.
