Every car i have seen flat black looks like they ran out of money half way through the paint job, they just look unfinished. Only car I have seen that looked good was a satin black drag car.

Most people just spray the flat-satin paint and call it a day. It seems when people spray the color with a flat or satin clear on top it looks better.

Not my style, but the paint looks very nice.

WipFbody, I like where your going with that car. Just don't change your rocker panels, thats the one thing that kills Mcnords car for me.

Matte black can look aweosme when done right and on the right shaped cars. some people are just to narrow minded to think outside the box.

Thanks......it's going to be pretty close to DH body style except for the hood is going to be like a Sonoco with opening similar to a Viper. The rear spoiler will be an SS type......I'm not a fan of the DH spoiler.

I also have a 6LE CME and valence.

He lives right down the street from me and is a great guy, and has some of the nicest cars I've seen. Hell, I think he has the nicest third gen in the country, and that's no joke.
