I like it man! I really like the idea of a satin black car. Maybe that will be my reward for finally paying this thing off...hmm...

As much as I like the blacked out look, this just seems too blacked out for my taste.

rx8strakes.com and I went with gunsmoke for the front head lights & fog light; Then I got charcoal for the tail lights. Overlays are not available for the corners from the website so I just got some vht night shade and sprayed that on em. I have some clear corners now that I dont have installed yet, but when I do installed em; I'm going to just buy a sheet of overlay and cut it out myself.

Yea I can get some night shots up (not right now considering I drove the bike to work). Other than what done to it now, I'm going to drop it and I'm considering a body-kit. Everything after that will be nothing but performance mods (saving up for 20b swap ).

man you're ruthless tonight. You say that if as that were fact. Anyways the same can be said for Aftermarket wheels, staggered wheels, body-kits (some would say since fast and furious came out), lowered cars, or even stock cars. I'm aware that there are blacked out cars,trucks,bikes,boats,planes, people, and who knows what else; but at the end of the day its doesn't matter how everyone else look at your ride. All that matters is that you're happy driving what you drive.

you do something cause you want to, as long as it makes you happy...and if its not ricey. would you rather have him have a blacked out 8 on 21" dubs with strobe lights underneath and a park bench on the trunk

yeah and as soon as you post those picks up i'll know what to get!

as for 20b....heaven in the form of machinery.

i saw a mid 90s volvo station wagon fully "murdered out" today.

it was all matte black. rims were the special removehubcab racing rims. all lights were matte black too.

looks like it was a garage job, but it wasnt terrible.

but it was a volvo stationwagon...

The lugs and rotors still catch my eye. The headrest rotors also stand out..but that's not so bad. I like the self expression that people like you put into their car. Though, overall I think you lose something when you totally black out a car. Without contrast you have nothing to catch the eye and loose visual focus. (the car only shows as a black blob) Considering your interior color I wonder what red calipers would look like on an otherwise fully blacked out car. Perhaps a well placed red graphic of some sort to bring the focus back to the car itself? Just avoid a pinstripe....oops

obviously none of that needs to be done it looks sick as is
Dammit ROSSDAWG got the rest before me!! How about your engine bay? Powder coat as much as you can! and BB as much as you can! Black Radiator? Black Muffler? Black air filter (if intake), 04 Black Washer fluid tank. Black Caps for all engine fluids!
