Are you referring to my Lemon too? I bought the car like that. It looks terrible too. The last owner was a real loser and was putting in a new audio system. He almost sounded upset when we told him what we are going to do with it. Idiot. The car's a pile of junk.

I think the answer you are looking for is here: http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/pr...via/index.html

I think Dave Coleman was one of the first to really make the flat black work well. Now everyone does it because they think it looks cool and because they are cheap. But most people don't do it right. Coleman did it right. It's so overdone now that I would never want another car to look like that.
