I like it. He could go more. Black out the back-up lights. Black chrome with monochrome emblem on the back, monochrome emblem on the front, black chrome lugnuts, and darker tint on the windows, that would be first degree murder.

I think I like it but would really like to see it inperson...somehow I thin the camera doesan't do it justice. Either way, good on him for doing what he wanted to!

Very Nice.
There have been several other posts about this topic.
I would consider doing this to my when it needed a paint job were it not for the fact that I have a Nassau Blue FRC, which are rare.
I do have one question though. I have heard that black is hard to maintain and that scratches and swirls are easy to see. Does going to flat or matte black lessen these issues?
