I'm getting an estimate to get my entire car painted flat black since I'm getting fender work done with some new massive lips I'm adding right now to my wheels.
19x9.5
19x11.5
It should look really crazy to because I will be stretching my tires for that VIP look but on a CLK. I'll be rolling a hybrid style car.
and hmm i luv flat black on many cars but i dono how itll look with full flat black on a CLK

I'm not going wide body, just some really crazy fender flaring with pulling and rolling. A wide body would hide the wheels. opal208 told me where I could get the lips I needed and it helped me find other sources because I needed a resale number to go to the place and buy what I wanted.
The flat black thing is just a thought right now.

The old rear lip will be added to the front and the new rear lip will go on the rear wheels.
19x9.5 = 3" lip
19x11.5 = 4.5" lip

don't do it, it's not worth it......i could see if you went widebody then yea but if you do it right ,the paint job is going to cost you alot.....
i'd paint it a different black if your going to paint the car...

it might look better if you cover the sunroof too but no idea how that'll look but if you don't cover the roof i say do the roof in gloss and then do everything else in flat.....
thats what i'm doing with the bimmer.....i have flat black accents here and there but the roof will be gloss black painted on tuesday...

the flat black looks good but you see how the sunroof kills it, if you cover that too then i say go flat but then you'll have no view out of the sunroof when it's not open

I did it all and will be posting some pics later today. My rear tire is stretched to much so I will need to go up in tires size like a 275/30/19 stretched on the 19x11.5 instead of the 245/35.
