That being said, black is also one of the worst colors to keep clean if it's daily driven. I kick myself when I see a SOM car go by. I was in the same boat getting mine repainted between those three colors. I went black, but I probably would have gone with SOM if I had to do it again.

That's what I had done when I repainted my trans-am. You can tell a huge difference between my car and other black cars when you see them out in the sun.

It's not literally a black "off the shelf." The body shop mixed my color with basically nothing but black in it. I don't think there is any metallic flake in it from the factory. Very, very little if any.

yes I personally like solid black with no metallic wayyyyy better. Its a blacker black. It really makes a difference. With Ferrari you can get them to do any custom colour you want for more money, but on their choice of 16 official colours thay actually have 2 blacks, one mettalic and one non metallic, so it seems peaple actually pay attention to this more then I thought. I never really thought about it until my dad startin tellin me how much he liked a solid black better then a metallic one. I think a few companies actually have the choice of metallic black or non metallic black as "official" colours, its pretty cool how the exact same colour can change with just metallic flakes thrown in. Id love to see a dark charcoal type grey with purple flakes. Ferrari has this colour I think its called grigio silverstone (silverstone grey) and i swear from certain angles under certain lighting it has a tint of purple to it, i have no idea how they do it or if its all in my head but somethin about the colour reminds me of purple. Sometimes you dont even see any purple, but you feel like you can see purple (even though you actually dont), I sound crazy and im rambling so im just gonna shut up now lol.
forgot to add, Hotwhip BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL T/A, those are almost the exact wheels im looking for (there very close to the HRE ones, only the hre spokes get thinner as they go out where those ones seem to stay the same)
