i wanna get the 5 axis lip a whole lot..but im too low as it is i would hit everything. turn my car into a snow plow...and i dont have a grand to drop down. Hid retrofit was definatley on my list of things to do but once again 600-700 in parts is not really affordable. turbo no dual exhaust no, vrd foglights are very tempting though but i wanna finish my system up first. and then save up for a 93 mr2 turbo and rebuild it from the ground up. love the car and love the potential plus its low to the ground 2 seater and turbo stock..but it wont be very stock when im done with it. Thanks for the input though. other comments welcome

On topic: i vote the tundra matte color or a flat color. theres an xb around here thats a hummer blue but its flat.( if that makes sense) i love the color of it

you don't. wax is only there to protect the clearcoat. if you're not shiny.. you have no clearcoat.

Do matte colored cars have a matte clear? I know you can buy matte clear in rattle cans, but do they do that for cars as well?

I love the matte look, but I wonder if it would just look like an unfinished job when its not at a show. I'm sure everyone else who sees it just driving around would think it was just a horrible paint job or something.

after a little searching, i have fallen in love with Satin Black (different from matte black, apparently its slightly more glossy, making it appear black in bright light instead of gray)

examples:

I like but the problem seems to be if people will think the car is just ghetto and waiting to be painted or they will actually notice it is a good paint job O_o..
