Default Matte Black Tom's LS460








Found it on another site, crappy pics and no info about it.

All I can say is the rims doesn't suit the car at all.

You guys have to see this car in real life, i was cruising around and came across this car at night, and its quite stricking. The rims were really shiny and the body is matte, its all about contrasts. I have to say it looked quite good.

and yea the interior is this nasty orange, if i remember correctly, saw it in the shop when the guy was getting his interior redone. the interior is bathed orange leather and orange suede. Good idea, ugly color

BTW i also wanna add, i saw this car w/ all of its goodies installed before and after the paint job (foil job?), and trust me when i tell u, it looks better in matte (saw it at night) . Then again Matte paint always looks better at night than it does during the day.
