I've got 200 pics of white C5s on Webshots, but not one in flat white.

How ugly would that be-maybe that's why you can't find one.

flat black kind of works for the mean street type of look.. not sure where you're going with flat white. to kind of echo the sentiments above, when i picture a "flat white" car, it does have 13" wheels and a teenager driving it..

Some ppl should hush. Just lurk and read. If its not your style, then move on. Because, after all, for every person who doesn't like flat colors, there is another that can't stand chrome. Both sides think the other side is tacky. It just so happens those that like chrome (and the like) are more apt to be cocky enough to say something bad about others' style. I've been in the motorsports game my whole life, and that is my observation.

Just because it is shiny, polished, or chrome doesn't mean it's BETTER. Doesn't mean it's worse either. I'm just saying that maybe our opinion on someone else's style is complete irrelavent.
