My Matte Tectite Gray CL55 with custom rear diffusor and more!

Hi Guys,

I know some pics of my car have been posted here before so I just wanted to share the full shoot with you guys. A huge thanks goes out to my buddy Mike at Las Vegas Classic Coach for the flawless paint job and amazing custom work. Hope you all enjoy:

I LOVE it except the headlights and tail lights look very dull/matte and not in a good way.

Amazing. The rolling shots posted before were spectacular, too.

You should try some HDR photos, they would look spectacular with those clouds and lighting, plus bringing out the details on the flat black.

Did you paint the chrome, or tape it? How hard was removing the door trim guard? Did they have to bondo over mounting holes?

we actually did that on purpose....alot of matted out cars use a gloss clear over the smoke which takes away from the paint....this somewhat allows it to blend

Thank you...all the chrome trim was painted flat black including around the windows and the piece on the front top window

we had to fully shave and bondo the sides

that just means you will have to keep looking i wanted to make sure we made the car stand out from the few modded CLs out there to give it that extra edge

If that's what you say....it's not my car. Just saying it doesn't look good in my opinion but those are minor details on an otherwise amazing car.

its a shame you can still see where the door molding was. i think the car would look better with them though as it looks a bit plain now from the side shot. i like the car overall though. love the color on the calipers and the wheels were a nice choice.
