I'm scared to think what you just did to resale value, but you are true to your game for following what you like.

I'm a detailing nut, and I can't tell you had badly those pictures make me want to bust out a rotary buffer and some heavy cut polish to bring up the shine.

if it were me, I would have waited until the car was done, and had an opportunity to get it cleaned and out in daylight for pics with a real camera. As it was you posted the first pics you could get from a crappy phone, and to expect everyone to praise it like it's the most awesome thing... well... is just a little optimistic. It's like you didn't give yourself or the car a fair shot at success.

Do post better pics soon though, and we'll all be eagerly awaiting it.

Not sure i'm feelin the flat grey and it's definitely not matching your glossy black 18's.

Wow...that is gutsey. GFX kit and some new shoes will make that car pop!!!! will really give it that aftermarket look. You got some cahones to pull the trigger and do that, not easy to pull together that look !!!!!post more after you pick it up. Look good so far

I really like it... Looks great but the hood just doesn't look right to me. If it was flat black then why not go all the way?

thanks for all your feedback fellas...i dont really expect you all to LIKE it, but i just dont like useless haters, thats all. I'm a bigboy and can respect everybody's opinion, whether its positive or negative.

On a different note, the car is pretty much going to sit in the garage until its totally done. Gonna have some nice volks on there in a few weeks, and many more mods to come.

I'll def try to post better pics soon, but thanks for your input so far.

Too much matte colors in Dubai, it's not interesting anymore.

I think its cool and ballsy but I think when you flat back a car its hard to pull it off when the car is mostly stock....needs a more aggressive look like lower stance and some sick wheels, I personally would do a like a flat bronze wheel or something kinda like the one on te's but anyways its cool.
