Flat Black WRX

I saw either a primered or flat black wrx tonight near kahala mall. At first I thought it was just really dirty and then I got right next to him at a stoplight.

I'm not sure how I feel about flat black, on one hand I respect the racy nature of the color and the overall "sleeper" effect, but I think that the sound of a subie with an exhaust gives away the sleeper aspect.

On the other, this was a newer wrx 04+ and it did have some nice bronze wedsports on it. Might have looked better with OE paint.

Huh, if it was my car and I decided to flat black it. I would go full race with it, gut the entire interior, race seat, pull the a/c, weld the rear doors shut, pull the crash bars in the rear doors, lexan the rear windows, etc, etc. Now that would be wicked.

I seen it too and I think I met him before he got those rims.

He's friends with Andrew I think.

Anyways...I wonder how long that kind of paint would last.
