This looks like you have a paint problem on the hood, roof and trunk lid that's causing severe oxidation. That's where it happens first if there actually is a paint problem.
I bet your service writer is going to
when he sees that paint, thinking there's something wrong.

i passed on doing the whole car in matte black because there are too many matte vehicles here in LA, you see a few a week, the past few days ive seen a matte gallardo, 911, cobalt and g35, the yellow lights come in play once i get my body kit installed which is the seibon carbon kit, then im planning on swapping out the brakes for some stoptechs, then some jun tw sway bars, also im speaking with artisan performance about developing a custom turbo set up for the car, which idk how they will do and im also talking to nrg about custom torque dampers once i get some more boost...but ya,im planning on tracking the car once the whole set up is done then garaging it and then find a daily driver, im going for originality on this one, and with my car, you either like it or you dont, this is my 3rd set up,and it has been matte black all around before but in vinyl, this is my favorite set up , and you'll never see another like it = ) but thnx for your opinions = )

if it's gonna be a real deal track car, then some of the mods make more sense... if you get a big wing on the back and some more decals, it will really start to look like more of an ALMS racer. It's definitely unique but I can't help but think you totally killed the resale value, hopefully you don't care about that and about what others think of the looks.

I feel sorry for your car. Nothing flows with the car. Maybe the headlight to the fog lights, but that's about it. It looks horrible.
Like istundra stated, i can still see your license plate. You taped the 2 in the front plate, but not the rear plate. The tape is semi-transparent. gg
Is it me or is the trunk messed up. I see paint residue anc chips.
