I saw a satin black 2008 Porsche 997 GT2 the other day when I was in downtown. I wanted to run up and dry hump the car so bad.

I love the IS-F satin black finish, it has a little more sheen to it than the Gt-R.....

Yeah i was gonna say the same thing. not a fan of those rims.. or that ridiculously huge spoiler. but the paint job (or wrapped vinyl w/e..) makes up for it

There is actually a matte clear coat you can apply over flat black that offers some protection.
