Oh, good. Tiny little car that's now invisible too. How much trouble could this be?

This flat black and murdered out look on cute vehicles or slow vehicles is a complete oxymoron and does not go with the theme at all.

Imagine the A-team in a flat black Odyessy?

Damn trends.

Not a fan of the matte black fad on any car and this doesn't change my feelings about it.

This look got old a long time ago. Like mentioned before, its just a stupid trend. I see soccer moms driving 'murdered out' Escalades and Tahoes all the time.

MAtte black is soooo played out. I was at a stop light the other day and saw a Prelude and a G35 coupe with matte paint. I wish these guys would try to be original...........and a little shiny . lol
