    matt black is still a bitch to clean... black is black Click here to enlarge always a mess..

    hate to see what some limestone would do to it

    one positive would be you can buy cans of matt black from bunnings for like $5 Click here to enlarge

    I remember crying when i saw this thing a while ago, why would you bother doing it to a nurb? And yes, it's 177kw, the conversion from hp is just a bit out.

    I think it looks Tough, A Bit Lower & Some Black 20-21" Rims. It would be pretty aggressive.

    Love the matt black look on certain cars - I've posted up quite a few in past Click here to enlarge

    On the VXR it looks ok, but not outstanding enough IMHO to have gone to the bother...

    On a Lambo Murcielago or on the R35 GT-R different story Click here to enlarge

    Wish I could say I was a fan and those Nurb rims are gay.
