Default What Matte Color choice would you go with 2014 IS350 F?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2014 IS350 F-SPORT and im thinking about changing the car to Matte. I was indecisive on the color... Please help me figure out which one, proud to be apart of the Lexus club. Color choices were Matte Red, Black, White Which one?

3M 1080 Matte Gun Metal Grey looks great in real life and would bring out the lines perfectly...

Matte is so passé these days, IMO.

Matte gunmetal would be awesome. Matte black is nice too, but pretty common

Are you planning to paint or vinyl wrap the car?

Ive always liked matte white, but if you want something that stands out, maybe matte blue or matte red.

Painted. I have a buddy of mine that handles Mercedes Accounts for Matte Paint Jobs, I think I am finalized with a Matte Pearl White. IMO, I think it will keep the "luxury" aspect of the car but will stand out also. Car pick up is tomorrow, Cant wait! Will put up pictures of it when i get it.

I would definitely wrap it instead. Unless you dont mind completely killing the value of the car.

I would wrap or even plastic dip if you plan on reselling. However, if you are going to go all out and basically redo the whole car. Matte White Pearl.

Definitely a good point, I might go with wrapping instead since thats a hell of alot cheaper lol

my vote is paint it matte...just as punishment of destroying value for the sake of looking like a boy ricer
