Flat black theme?
Not "murdered out" but have flat black accents on the car?
When I get a chance I might try something like this. Flat black wheels, paint the lower part of the rear fascia flat black, and maybe even run a flat black stripe or something on the car.
Just seeing if anyone has something similar and has pictures I can see? I did a search but didn't come up with much.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't have to be "flat black" I mean satin black and all that pretty much look the same.
You guys know what I'm saying. I know its a pretty generalized post, but I wanted to get some pictures to make sure I'll like it. Corvette's are nice cars and I don't want to necessarily paint things "dull" (flat/satin black) and make it look "cheap".
Also I don't want to get powder coated wheels gloss black then have flat black accents. It would look all miss matched, so that's why I'm asking for the flat/satin black pictures to see if I like it.

I've seen the whole car painted matte black and it was just SICK!
It looked Very Cool and Darth Vaderish!
Here's one:

Sorry for the blurry picture, but this one is just COOL! This takes the Murdered Out look to a whole new level!

I recently replaced my hood and installed new stripes with flat black on the new hood. Again no issues when cleaning
Hope this helps.. Can't say about all stripes but Mikes vinyl stripes are great qualityOld hood.

I have done my mirrors, license plate area, and fender stripes in plastidip...looks good to me. Will have to see if I have any pics...
Only pic I have... side mirrors and stripes. I thought about plastidipping hood stripes, but if you don't peel the tape quick, it pulls the plastidip. Didn't feel like taking that on right now.
