Yeah i wanted it a little darker, Just how it looks in the night shot. During the day it looks flat grey and at night it looks satin black.

Just get the god damn thing on the road.

It's like you're worrying about a hangnail on your chopped off foot.

I know flat paint is becooming more popular, but to me it just looks like ***. Might look right on an '87 Yugo, but not an fbody...

looks good. i think everyone isnt feeling it because the car is lacking headlights/mirrors/etc.. and it is on chrome wheels. As far as the paint job goes, i think it looks good. get that beast moving!

Don't worry about it being on the road, Good things come to those who wait.

It takes about 1 min. Installation was not easy at all.
