Looks really good man! The old colors just blended in with the car, but now it looks sick. Generally not a fan of flat black as it looks like primer, but in cases like this it works well. Maybe just raise the rear 1/4" and it'll look sick because when you're in the car (plus other people), the rear squats lower anyway. Do you have any rubbing issues? How stiff are the springs on those J5 coilovers? Trying to see how different they are than RS-R sport which are way too soft.

Car looks good but i agree with TheShaddix the black does looks like primer, wish you had went for the Magblue, also with your car being a dark color a brighter color would have popped more....

my car is even all around measured from floor to fender i went with satin black cause it looks aggressive doesn't look matte in person.
J5s come with 12k front 10k rear there the ***** i have mine set soft and its perfect. i rode in a is with rsr coils and i know what you mean they aren't to stiff

I liked the gray, but this looks really good too. The wheels blend in well with the other black areas and the window tint.

I like this color combo a lot, most of the time with satin black you really can't appreciate that color till you see it in person. I would pass on the gloss mag blue, everyone and their brother is doing color pops like that. This combo is a classic and will always stay in style. I had looked into getting these Velgens in the same exact color so thumbs up from me.
