To me the more lines the car has the better it looks in this color. The more smooth it is the less it is appealing.

Look at the cars in this thread and compare like the bmw to the carrea gt
or the ferrari to the paganni or vice versa.

So in my opinion the ram air ta's would proabaly look the best in this color of the fbodies.

If I didnt have a 35th Anny Id do it.

Makes the car look mean as ****....

Can you imagine a satin black paint job, matching wheels with polished lip (maybe some CCW classics), polished tips out the back, and GLOSS black billet grill with a FMIC.

Hell... reverse Berger Mod with a gloss black panel and satin black letters.

I just don't get it either. It looks kind of neat on some of those exotics but it just looks like they rolled out of the body shop and are awaiting paint.
