Looks great, the SN95 saleen body pieces are so nice. I think the chrome wheels are throwing it off???

I like it better with chrome wheels than with black. Looks killer.

Very cool! Thanks for posting pics!

All of a sudden hot rod black people are popping up!

I think the matte black has a bad rep, because people are used to seeing it not done the right way. When its done proper, it looks great! :D

Your GT looks great. I think the (black) chrome wheels give the body some contrast, but black wheels are nice as well.

That black Torino is sweet! I had a buddy years ago that had one. Same year. His was a GT.

Can anyone give more info. regarding the care and maintenance of a matte finish such as hot rod black? Are swirls any more or less noticeable in this sort of finish, and I assume that removal of them via an orbital is no different than on a gloss finish? I apologize if these are ridiculous questions.

The paint looks great and I really like everything on the OP's car except the wheels and grill.

OP, car looks good. The chrome wheels look much better than any black wheel would.


What is that in your garage? Looks sick.

I agree on the chrome wheels. Black wheels would make it look like a work in progress, chrome makes it look complete. Although a nice deep lipped brushed wheel would also be killer.

The car in the garage looks like a Noble?
