    you're absolutely right. however that does also give the wheels more depth. and the shift from silver to gun metal to near black just looks amazing if you ask me. besides any finish aside from matte will have the same effect. some to a lesser extent, however, yes.

    I guess you're right. Kinda goes along with my "stock" theme anyways. I don't like my car standing out as if I did the work. Once the rest of the car is done up I want people to question if it was aftermarket or pontiac.

    If people think it's "other" than stock that's when theft becomes an issue.

    I'm definitely not upset; it looks good. Just not the look I was going for
