In my opinion, you shouldnt do flat black.. why? because you spend your money on these expensive parts- i feel like they will look better with a nice paint, not a flat...

lol, its not going to look spray painted. its going to be done right, the matte really shows the body lines of a car, when done right.

here is my inspiration:

Damn, so much hate on MB :lol:
I personally love the color. As long as its done professionally, s**t will look great. Most people don't like it because it reminds them of all the other school kids who just spray paint their car black lol..all the uneven lines...etc.

I wanted to go a different color because I love gloss, and I love waxing the car...but then again how often do you see a professionally done flat or matte paint job on a civic? Not very often. And when its done right, it looks badass ;)

I say do it homie!

a lot of mini trucks here on guam do that with black primer. they sand it down and make it kinda smooth.

Something like this



I know its not the same color, but it doesnt really look appealing to me especially on a sweet ass civic like yours.

thats just me though.

no im not shaving or filling, tucking yes, but u cant expand after everything is shaved, the seam sealer is being removed and reapplied but in a cleaner fashion and if i remove anything its going to be the studs from the OE fuel filter, and the bracket for the evap stuff.
