You'll probably be very hard pressed to get a body shop to fade IP to Black.
The IP is a 3 stage paint IIRC. It's the primer, 1 or 2 shots of "Ivory", then 3 shots of Clear/Pearl. Significantly more expensive than just a regular clear coat like on the other colors.
The Matte Black cannot be sanded, buffed, or refinished in any way except resprayed. So if the fade wasn't perfect, they'd have to start over again. You'd also likely get matte with glossy clear coat "splatter" or vice versa.
The fenders are alright. I agree that it needs a matching body kit OR door treatments (haven't seen any). Wheels are UGLY!
