STR with Matte Black Hood/Roof/Trunk
What do you guys think of this, I have a Quartz Grey 03 STR with Satin Black rims, now I have decided to make it look a little bit more meaner by doing vinyl wrap of matte black on the hood, roof and rear trunk and spoiler, here is a photo I rendered in photoshop just to get an idea how it will come out. Let me know what you guys think...

If you buy a new hood for the car it with come in a matte black finish.. I was at the dealership yesterday and they had a brand new hood that was dented while being shipped in the junk pile and I was tempted to drive back with a pickup at night and borrow it to try exactly what you were thinking..

How did you make that picture?
Someone just keyed my 2004 lunar grey s-type r bad. I have always thought about paiting it matte (not sure if that's how it's spelled) black. Not quite completly flat, but with a little sheen to it. I've seen it on a couple mercedes and high end sedans. Is there a place I could see what that looks like? I'd hate to do it and have it look terrible.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOOD OF MY FRONTIER IN SIG PIC, I DID THAT IN CARBON FIBRE WRAP 4 YRS AGO. ITS CRACKED NOW AS YES IT WAS HIGH QUALITY 3M. IF YOU GARAGE IT, IT WILL OBVIOUSLY LAST LONGER. I GOT IT HERE

Did some simple clean graphic design for my S-Type R, what do you guys think, the decal is in flat black so it blends with the flat black wheels, this would look even better on a Black S-Type R or XK-R with a gloss black finish and the flat black design would make really classy but sporty...

I think after you tint the windows and black out the side markers and reflectors that thing would be even sicker. I do like the graphic though very nice. I think darkening the things I already mentioned would tie everything together. Maybe make the calipers pop a little too. Maybe yellow??

As you can see this design concept came from a Jaguar XK-R GT2 and when you see the actual car it is very clean and simple with impact not "ricer" as you think I own Cookie GRaphics Racing Designs and I do a lot of hard core race graphics and digital wraps for REAL GT Race cars including our own a Lotus Elise which runs in the 2011 Redline PRO Time Attack series TweeksIntroPage I do a lot of Porsche and Ferrari Cars too i have kept the car simple but all the boys been telling to put something on the car since I am the actual graphics guy and my car had non so I played around with the idea and so far everybody liked it and your the first to comment it to be ricer...... hmmmmm

Ouch. Harsh. LOL. I see where you are coming from but since they do this to their race cars and its a Jaguar leaper I think that kinda takes it away from the ricer look. I like it. If it was like a tribal design I would be calling ricer right along with you.

I'm really just yanking your chain, you can do whatever you want (obviously). I'm not a huge fan of S-Types to begin with, but that's just my personal preference.
