You actually don't have to get your car painted to make it flat black. You can get it wrapped in vinyl here is a place that is wrapping cars.

They actually did one of my old customers cars here is a couple pictures of it

Look in their gallery section they have tons of pictures.

They do an awesome job on wrapping these cars. But for $2900, i can pay my car 3 times.
I spoke with Jason out of Dallas, and he sounds like a very cool guy. He even gave me a discount if I paid cash. I would understand wrapping my car if i have a 500k porsche.
I have no doubt the rx8 would look great in flat black, the body of the rx8 is so sexy, it could be any color and still be hot.

OMD from Houston has a flat black RX-8

I like it, but I'm not sure if I like it more than a freshly waxed BB. It looks better in a picture than in person in my opinion. Still his paint job is very clean.

Do we have a Houston meet for rx8's? I would like to see this car in person. Do you know anyone in houston with a turbo or s/c setup as well?

Maybe we can meet and have dim sum or happy hour.
