It's just me...I don't get it! Most of us work hard to keep a shiny car, which looks great!

Flat black looks like primer.

Sorry, not throwing off on you personally. Not my style.

Not particularly my style but the work is clean! Post pics when you mount those LFA reps and give us some feed back on their quality/durability etc. I've considered those but am a bit weary of replicas.
