Yep, I agree. That's the reason I still haven't painted my hood, I'm still trying to come up with a paint scheme that I like that will be different. I could paint it silver like the rest of the car....but hell, why not just wait & do something to set it apart a little.

One thing you have to remember, this is a work in progress for the guy. I'm pretty sure over the next few months it will make changes. Hell, how do you know what really does look good on flat black, you just don't see it in person everyday. I can say this, the damn car looks mean as hell coming down the street.

Surprisingly, I like it better with black wheels. I still think it needs the polished lip, but it is looking better.

I like the flat black on old school cars... it just takes some getting used to on the newer cars. I understand the need to be different and of course, everyone likes something different.

I am sure it does. But I bet people are confused when they see it coming toward them from the distance. "Is that knight rider, a redneck primered '78 transam, or an exotic"?

All of the cars that have been posted are pretty sick. And a car hasn’t got to be flat black to be considered murdered out. So long as the car is black on black then it’s considered to be murdered out. The only reason I know this is because I’ve got some truly ghetto friends, lol.
