Default Matte Black GS

Was heading home and spotted a matte black GS, this is a first for me. Doesn't look to bad in person. Couldnt get a nice clear pic with the phone haha and it was zoomed and too much traffic to get a good angle.

Who's ever it is or if he/she is a CL member, cool ride!



I have few more shots if you guys want to see some more pics.

Doesn't look good on a GS I think maybe a BMW but doesnt look right, must be a B%$#@h to clean though.

Yeah, but that's silver. When you go full retard and turn the car into a dirt magnet, it just looks terrible. Gawd....matte black with undersized black wheels...good call there Jose. Honest to God, that looks like my car (without the stupid wheels) after all the snow we had this winter and I couldn't wash the car. (That's not a good look)

I like shiny paint. Whether that be metallic, pearl, or a really dark color properly maintained.

Not a big fan of black/dark graphite wheels on a dark color car. You need color separation.

Well that original car needs to get rid of the chrome stuff, put on a bodykit, and slam it. It just looks ghetto right now.

I thought it would look nice, but I'm not feeling it. Maybe it needs to be lower and bigger wheels.

Im sorry but this car is ridiculous, the front bumper is very Murcielago like and aggressive but so are the wheels and rear fender flares. What an animal!
