Personally, I think it is ugly. I have seen a few matte paint jobs and when slightly dirty, they look like crap. I much prefer a gloss finish.

I'm not a fan of that matte look.Also not a fan of the new vinyl material wrapping/covering of the paint too.

Agreed on the paint job... I'd like it a lot more in something bright and eye catching.

Absolutely Amazing Car!

However, I wouldn;t pay the $70K for it.

At $45-$50K its a good deal.

The owner got a lot of stuff for free when he was GM @ Active Automwekre and no doubt a lot of the add ons were given GRATIS since it was a featured show car and Magazine Cover Boy.

The car is about $70k new (this one is less than a year old), with only 2,300 miles.

You can't even find a stock 2011 with 2k miles on it for $45k

I kind of like it, the green calipers really makes it pop.

In addition to varying personal opinions on matte paint, it's also extremely difficult to care for. So in most cases, the expensive matte paint job will greatly decrease the value of the car.

Wow that's had a lot of work put in, if it was a white or black color that thing would be too legit

not really a fan of the particular matte paint. i think the OEM matte (frozen gray) looks more well done. other than that, i do like the car.
