This kinda reminds me of an old article I read about a blacked out vette that had some night vision setup & was used to run drugs across the desert. If I recall, it was a C4. This was a long time ago when I read this is some car mag. It was telling how a cop was just sitting there in the dark in his car on side of the road & had his radar on, then he got a hit on it at 100+mph or something like that but there were no lights or car to be seen. I don't recall the whole story, but it was pretty interesting, but then I've seen all sorts of creative stuff when it comes to transporting illegal drugs from all the emails that get sent around.

I know it has been said plenty but that looks sweet. The guys that think it looks bad, thats just a different school of thought. Personally i think any car is best lookin black on black with black wheels, a car dosnt need shiny paint for me to think its cool, the people who think it does are the same people who like a 100% chrome motor is cool. Personally i despise chrome.
I hate chrome motor parts, if i must buy something chrome, ill bead blast it, and paint it flat black.
The fact that you painted over what is was likly still a perfect paint job is pretty cool.

That 69 looks great. I like the flat black look on anything that has power. Therefore has respect. Most of the ricers that go with the flat black look just proves that they don't have any money. But when a v8 comes out with that look all people will take a second look.
