Ha,
My sentiments exactly. Needs red-outs though. Smoked look is stylish on all paint colors.

ya, the front chips way to fast, i got my grill and front emblems painted matte black, and within two days of rain and rock chips, the paint was gashed away, i suggest getting anything powder coated if your going for that flat matte black look
