It's actually not that bad, but I'm leaning toward more of a flat white look rather than a black. Thanks tho I appreciate it

^photo shop it first and see but an entire vehicle is expensive, basically white is not that reflective if the car is a little dirty it looks flat just don't wash your car so often

i think what makes the flat black one look bad is the wheels. if it had better wheels, i think it would look pretty killer.

Yeah I agree the rims don't go well with the flat black if they had better rims it would look exceptionally better I'd think

I agree, and the headlights really stand out to me. I think blacking them out would help with the look.
