The matte black car is very nice, just not sure I would want one myself.

Wow, that looks better than I thought. It would look even better with some gloss black racing stripes or something tho, just so it looks more "finished" and will eliminate any "ghetto-ness". Anyone wanna Photoshop some kind of nice stripes in gloss black?

I have gloss black Hash strips on my driver fender already & would love to know how my car in any way resembles "Ghetto-Ness"? I take it you think the Harley V-Rod "Black Edition" is a ghetto motorcycle since it's matte black??? I would like to add that people that would think these cars look "unfinsihed" have not been to SEMA or any other Exotic Car Show/Display to see many models of Sports Cars with FACTORY & Custom MATTE paint jobs.
I like the flat/matte black, partially cause I'm into hot rods and such, and whatever rod I get next will be flat black with my own custom red and white pinstriping. I think on a corvette, some gloss black on it would make it look more finished, and would add a little more sportyness to it. Sorry, I didn't see your graphics in the pic, I'll look again.
I was in no way putting down any of these cars. They're beautiful even if they're purple with green stripes......
Oh, and as for the black harleys, my boyfriend has a Crossbones that's black denim (matte) with red and white pinstripes, and I think it looks sick as f***.
