#41657 I'm going to "Murder Out" my Civic. I've got flat black Circuit 8's as it stands. My uncle has a paint booth that he'll let me use. I'm going to spray the car flat black, black housing headlights, smoked amber corners, smoked side markers, smoked tails, tint the windows nice and dark. What do you guys think?

#41661 That would be sooo cool 8)

Tho, IMO, it would look better on older, bigger cars.

#41763 I like the all black look, but instead of flat black, I'd look into a satin black. It is almost flat, but has the slightest hint of gloss. flat black looks dirty & un maintained, satin black looks like you meant it.

Mike that EK is bad-ass!

#41815 I think that flat black dosn't look too bad on the hatch. I would go for pirate black persoanlly.
