I respect the work and money put into the car. Enjoy!
I agree with the above. I'm sure it's the pictures, but it does look like primer, mang. Don't get all worked up because someone says so. If it's your thing, do it like you own it! It will definitely set you apart from all the people who drive shiny ones, that's for sure. Crappy thing is that it's good advice to drive with the shiny side up, so that doesn't apply to you now!

I'm pretty sure we all know what "primered" cars look like
you asked for our opinion, and some of us saw your car as primered car
stop taking everything personally, because YOU posted on a public forum
and you know everybody got something to say about it

anyways, I definitely think that i'd look so much better if you take off your
tint and maybe repaint your rims,
glossy rims + flat black paint doesn't flow well IMO

BTW, the pics that you posted, those are high end exotic cars
of course it would look great no matter what color you paint those cars

Man, the way i see it, if u like it, eff it, enjoy it, dont bother wasting ur time gettin all pissey that ur fellow haters... er i mean... CL'ers dont like it. Clearly its not some peoples thing, this a forum and people are over opinionated, esp if ur asking for their pov's.

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it, that's all you, personally i like a deep gloss to paints and i like to see it glimmer when it shines. How much did it cost to do that?
