i think matte colors look good on a agressive looking car only you can't put it on anything and have it look good

Not a fan of the color, but it takes guts for a car to come out of the closet. Props to you for supporting your car in its life choice!

matte black is a pain in the ***, if youve ever seen a matte car in real life its jsut a disappointment, you have to use a claybar on your hands just to get all the oils off them so that you can touch it, if not you get fingerprints and smudges all over yuck. if you go vinyl and you get a chip you need to replace the whole panel, you cant touch it up. the list goes on and on.

I need to start going to the dump more often if that is where TopGear got his wheels, LOL!

Calm down dude, defensive much? Don't take internet forums too personally, or you'll end up worked up more often than not.

edit: *Looks at post dates* ...****, I am stupid.

Body kit finished, car working like a dream but im strugeling with the low power Renesis, i'm probably are going to do a 13b Rew Single turbo swap i near future. Hate to let cars passed


3 years of cassiesetup seems to pay of in rain. =)

Knock off R-Magic... after the first two.. you kinda don't give a crap anymore, and once you get to four it really doesn't matter.
