I've seen grey on a black car and it made me sick. Looks unfinished, like you got in a wreck w/o painting it when its flat/matte black too! Leave it alone x2!

If you kept your car clean all the time, it could look good- but probably ppl are going to mistake it for soot from the exhaust.
Yea, the ceta mod looks good, but like you i've got a black car so it just doesn't seem to work as well as the nonblack cars.
like your wheels, tho.
