agreed, flat black will only look good if you're highly modified.

agreed also. flat looks best on low/sick wheels the most. cant just be flat black on crappy wheels and crappy drop, then it just looks ghetto to me.

with flat black, you gotta be ready to represent!
it's basically screaming look at me, i'm different i'm modded
if you get a flat black car and it's close to stock, it just looks like you cheaped out and couldn't afford a full paint job vs you're so tuned there's nothing else to go except untraditional flat black

If you were to flat black your car, i think you would need wheels to go with it.

This Rota P45R's would look pretty sick.

do you know how hard it is to keep the car looking like that! A flat/matte finish paint is harder to clean no matter what color it is or what it's painted on; now you take that and put it on a car!

I have a mr2 that I built and one of the local guys has a flat black mr2 and it looks good but all I hear him say is how much it sucks cleaning it!

Here's a picture of it almost done. He did it himself and he spent "dozens" of hours on it.

Rota's really aren't that bad. The only downfall is that those wheels only come in 17's.

They really aren't. But those wheels are avaliable in 17s, 18s, and 19s. Just some tricky offsets.
