^ I guess the single exhaust has to do something with the Euro specs?

yeah i still like a satin finish more than pure matte/flat. Although it is confusing because for factory colors, manufacturers just simply use the term "matte", even though strictly speaking some of them look satin, i think? like the matte black LFA or the frozen (matte) grey M3.

I like the rims and the finish on them. But the paint looks like flat primer, like they took it to the body shop and didn't finish it. It would be much better with a satin matte grey finish like mentioned above.

The rims are nice. But it kinda looks like primer. UV's car pulls it off better IMO

It is a IS220d.

It sounds like a diesel truck at idle and take off.
