Need help deciding. Matte black sport, eibach prokit....?

Ok so my car is in the shop for paint. I would like some opinions on this idea I have. I wana go all matte black like the popular Ferrari on the net. I wann go with clear coated black obsidian mirrors and calipers. And I am gonna have em paint the wheels in a semi gloss black obsidian. Black chrome emblems and I Also had igor hook up my lights with all black iron man and Led side strip with the demon eye. I also ordered the eibach pro kit... Do u guys think this set up will look good. I have the image in my head but a lil unsure.

Thanks

Honestly no. The G37 isnt nearly agressive enough looking to pull off matte black.

Also huge mistake if it is a daily driver. Matte black is impossible to keep clean. It pretty much always looks dirty, plus you cant wax it or use sealant.

You also have to have an amazing good painter. You cannot buff out any imperfections like normal paint. Pretty much has to be perfect in one shot. And it will be crazy expensive. You are looking at spending 5k-6k. The money could be put to much better outlets.

I've seen one matte black G37... I think it was the Zele car and it looked good, but I don't think it would look good on a stock G37. As buddy said, the stock G just doesn't have that aggressive look that you need to pull off a matte paint job.

It looks good when it's done by a professional.
That will look good, but have you thought about matte white too?
matte black is played out too much lol.

I say the G37 can pull it off depending on what other mods are done. Here is a sedan:

Still a lot of work though.

except the rims, this is one of my favorite sedans. Sure looks sweet rolling, though.

I would say paint the hood the roof and the trunk matte black, but then the rest of the car matte white. And then with the grill I'd go with matte black trip around the grill, with a matte black trim and matte black emblem with a matte whte finish in the grill. And then with the rear emblems, I couldn't tell you what to do... And then rims I'd go with a matte black face and matte white lip, maybe try that with gt30s.... Btw how much is tommy gonna charge u?

matte black is kinda out of date now....should try doing your car in some other matte color.
people in the middle east start doing their car with gold paint or camera floag
