Thank you. Glad I'm not the only one who hates those Grand Am looking things. The front end is awesome IMO, I'd like to custom mold a rear end for it though

I kinda like the style of front bumper assembly of the flat black one posted on the other page. Or at least what they did with the fog lights.

Yea I think the Bonneville GXP was the first design in what led to the new pontiac styling of more sleek lines

The rear with the diffusers is probably my favorite.

I like the Bonneville underneath the flat black paint. Not crazy about the flat black paint on the Bonneville. Looks like it's waiting to go into the paint booth for the clearcoat.

A flat black paint job done correctly with matching rims,window tint and other tinted items would look incredible

I don't know about the satin black on that Ferrari. I could go either way. Like I said before, it depends on the car and how well it's done.

That Ferrari was obviously done properly, but I still don't know whether I like it or not. I hope the owner likes it though. Because the original paint job he covered up was worth more than my entire Monte.

Thats why its a vinyl wrap. Its what most flat black supercars are these days. It comes right back off, and the wrap actually saves it from rock chips.
Idk why i forgot to mention this, but it slipped my mind lol. So if you want to go flat black, do the vinyl, it will probably cost less than a paint job, and less to remove too if you dont like it. Also it will look much better.
