Yea flat black does look sexy on some cars.

Example:Skunk 2's Civic SI Hatch & Super Streets 240 Coupe.

I pick super glossy black cause i love black cars.....and im getting kinda tired of the flat black color. Since sport compact put it on their s13 coupe some people figure it looks good on their car.

Shift_Oversteer i think the graphics looks pretty good on your car. When i first saw your graphics i knew it looked familiar...but my brother reminded me where it was from.

I have and love my gloss black, but any dings you have or will get will show on it more than any other. It also gets that dusty look within 2 hours of washing it. If these bother you as much as it bothers some people, go with the silver, it hides the little things better.

Exactly, if I wanted that color I'd paint my car with only primer. But I guess if the car's lines are naturally beautiful, it doesn't matter. Flat black is like a girl without makeup--how good it(she) looks depends on the car(girl).

I voted the Flat black, but it was a tie for me between the gloss black and the flat. Depends what you are planning on doing with the car.

I think flat black is officially a trend now. Everyone thinks its cool now so lots of people are doing it and as soon as you finally do it, you will just be a bandwagoneer. Paint it bayside blue. Ooh thats sex.

Flat black may be a trend, But I liked it before SCC, and it will cost me less than $25, thats my reason. But, if your gettign the car done professionally, a glass black or dark gunmetal, black rims with a polished lip. I personally like the 3 piece watanabes.

an Americam racing wheel set. i forget the name of them but they look like the mustang gt but it in all chrome. classic musle car wheel. i'm thinking 17inch. i need to go 5 lug to make them work. i will probably get the signal auto f/r kit for around 450 or maby i'll go junk yard hunting.
