This is my first post here, I've been on my.is for 5+years, but thought I would join this community too. Here you go: This was on sale at one point on Craigslist, but I kept all the pictures because it looked cool. It's actually satin black from what I remember-but here they are anyway:

I saw a matte black completely stock IS300 that looked like it was a rattle can paint job. What a disgrace to the IS300.

Satin black might work if you have a perfect fitment body kit, wheels, and a proper stance AND your mods are not showing you are trying too hard to be "JDM".

My opinion is not truth, but my perspective from what I've seen with the current trend.

Dang 01LEXPL that is awesome and pretty cheap! Too bad I am not going for the matted look or else I would try it for fun!! Only $300 bucks gets you a whole matted car plus rims if you want that is amazing!!
