Oh man, you have matte paint?! It looks pretty good! now you need darker rims!

And be careful on your new "toy", always be watching the people around you and keep it under 100. Have fun!

That looks sick w the matte finish. Don't know if I'd do it to mine, but I've always like that look! Nice work...

Looks good, even though I'm not a huge fan of a matte finish on our cars... but I certainly think you should consider custom tails and headlights from the wonderful vendors on the 'Zine. Good luck!

Car looks like a chalkboard. Not a fan but it looks like it was done well.

Congrats on the bike

LOVE the matte black! I've often thought about doing this to my Type S.


Absolutely a fabulous job! Don't touch a thing-leave everything (including the wheels) just like it is.


Just keep your tires nice and black!

Def different TL.

Is it possible to buy that type of side mirror? I have the plain ones, I'm looking into getting a set of the ones with the turn signal. Any idea on price guys?

Yeah, there's a DIY somewhere on the swap.

Best bet is to find the mirrors on the BM or off a junked TL.

I'm with Steven on this one. The color looks fantastic! Leave everything as is. Good job!

The matte finish looks good, but you're gonna need a new set of shoes.
