By now it should be ready to buy on the market..
It looked great in person.
Theres a older Porsche 911 turbo here in town painted a nice Flat Black, but shows fingerprints pretty bad
Know anything about the paint on the SEMA Cooper?

It's definately not standard

Any flat black will absorb more radar waves

If I didn't live in NJ I could take of the front plate too (which is the usual target of radar guns)

You do realize thats the exact opposite of how it really works. If you wax your car a lot, keep it nice and shiney, then your practically invisible to radar.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but radar waves need a shiny reflective surface to bounce off of....

How many reflective stealth bombers exist?

Has potential but needs dark window tint and black wheels to pull it off. Looks a little dorky with untinted windows and stock wheels in my opinion.

With the cash saved from a real paint job I may eventually get gold rims similar to these

I'm gonna be painting my Legacy semi-flat black soon

Soon as you get the holy tailgate on, eh? I think the white fender will be a nice contrasting touch

Well I kinda got suckered into a graphics sponsorship, and I need to use them. They'll probably come off once I take the picture with them on. I can get anything from www.decalkits.com and I thought that one looked the best.
