Nice!

Looks nice! IMO a set of R-Spec rims would make it look even nicer

The paint has far more gloss than the matte finishes I have seen, which do not have any gloss.

Now you need some R-Spec rims to make the wheel area blend in with the rest. Check the pictures forum with the black 09 Teck with r spec wheels. I got mine on ebay for 900$ including tires. They are in pristine condition.

yes, the matte black is actually a more rubbery type of compound that can be "uninstalled" whenever. if you feel it, you almost feel like you can push it in. i went with the matte so that the gloss and matte, though both black, still has a contrast to each other.you sound like you're not a fan!

do you think its worth getting darker rims? i actually like the rim staying stock silver because it helps keep the original integrity of the car.

with that said my friend who worked on it recommended darker rims, such as the r-types.

Not to my tastes. I like chrome accents. Why leave exhaust and fog lamp surrounds?
