Question Soon to be flat black

I'm painting my car flat black the beginning of next year and it should look something like this...



With this body kit...





And don't tell me that this body kit won't work, it will so I just want the opinion of the color and not the kit.

Thanks

Yep, that's one of the cars that motivated me to do it. I also saw a badass STI that was stealth

I'm not sure if flat black would work well with the kit you chose, I always thought flat black looked best when you had sharp edges and discrete lines, like with the above Subaru or an Evo.

So I should go with Jet Black?

I don't want it to be too shiny, the STI above looks perfect. I want the color to come out like that.
Does anyone know that exact color?

wow i love how the reflection comes out off the puddle in that picture

personally, i think you have to have a pretty extreme car to pull off the flat black look. If you try it on a lancer, it might just look like you never painted it.
