I have a obsidian black car and my next mod will be exterior cosmetics. I'll be purchasing Euroteck's front lip, rear diffuser, and trunk spoiler...is this too much black for a black car. Initially I was 100% sold on gloss black but after seeing, only one, black car with matte looked pretty hot. If anyone has anymore pictures please post up with both black and matte finishes.

I'll be purchasing through James at ACG because like always he's giving me great deals! He's even willing to meet up with me in LA this Friday and bring both finishes to test fit (see which color I like best) and install after my dyno tune. Great customer service...thanks James.

white or silver cars = matte finish

black cars = gloss

I have thought about this as well. The lighter color cars you can do matte black grill to tie the matte carbon in. On black cars it would dull. Just my humble opinion.

Although I like both finishes very much, I think the gloss is a much safer choice for a black car, and especially a glossy black car (aka Obsidian Black). By the way, any chance you can post pictures of both diffusers when you and James test them on? I'll be in the same boat soon

Yea, I'm in the dog house till tomorrow.

Just got my gloss carbon parts from Euroteck today. I will try and take some snap shots this weekend.

I never shy away from a black car......so it can never too black for me. I like the matte look and but I'm going satin black rear spoiler and SL63 rear diffuser on the SL65. On the E55, the safe bet would be gloss black...but the matte black would be unique.

G/L either way!

+1 for sure.

Thanks guys! Glossy black it is.

How about replacing my black trunk spoiler for a carbon fiber one? I would have the diffuser, front lip, and trunk spoiler...too much? I haven't really worked on the outside cosmetics much but I think it's time because engine modding is becoming too expensive...LOL!

I guess after the carbon fiber upgrades I might paint the calipers but the only thing holding me back is color. Red and yellow with my color combination is common but safe and either one would most likely be my choice. How long should the paint last? When and if it does start to chip I guess more than likely all 4 calipers would need to be repainted...hmm.

Not at all, it will look hot.
