Flat black looks mean, I've always been a fan. I think you should untint your tails though, they don't look right for some reason.

FWIW, I think the flat turned out really well on your car. It looks great. I'd probably go with what was going to be the easiest to maintain however.

Now that I see flat and gloss combined I like it that way. Very unique.

... Or go with flat. It's pretty unique and cool.

Didn't you make a thread like this before?

I don't really see why u didnt go allllll satin in the first place, but DEFINITELY go with all satin, looks sick as ****. One thing I would do tho, tint your windows darker (but thats just me and because cops in AZ don't care )

Keep car as is. Dont change it dude. Seriously, if you have to change it at all, then go all flat. otherwise, f*ck that and dont do anything more to it other than the new rims.
