We have 2 trucks that sit outside all day/night. They are flat green and flat grey, They still look great. They have a flat clear coat though. There isn't any scratching or staining of the paint.
The Z looks good

I really like it and, well, I really don't. Not really sure what to make of it...I think that it looks good but, there is something missing. Can't really put my finger on it.
Edit: I think it is the gloss centers on the Volks that clash with the paint job. Maybe making it look like a "work in progress".

Window tenting....
I would have dark tent slapped on that Z in a flash, here's a rough picture of how different it would look, I really believe thats what is missing... I mean look at all the other pics of cars that were posted, all have tent.
IMO the lexus looks most badass, I love the bodykit & the color, not sure which flat black it is because it is under the gold/yellow lights....
I want my Z to have the exact color of the lexus & a bodykit that looks closest to what it has.
Batmobile coolness lol
p.s. I just looked at this Z side by side w/ other pics posted, it looks like the Z isnt "as black" as all the other cars, might be the lighting, maybe not? But thats just what I notice... kinda faded looking, almost turning into a grey

edit.. after looking at the wheels i like them but idk if they go well with the flat black paint job..and +1 on the window tint!
