Most guys do this for aesthetics .. so I'll give an opinion on that -- this is simply my biased view-- but it's an honest one--

Usually when I see a backed out car I view it like the guy is a) hoping to attract women with it or b) intimidate other guys by making his car look fierce .
Agree with this.

When I acquired my most recent black car, the first thing my 18 year old son asked me was whether I was going to murder it out. While I do have tinted windows, the whole rest of the black out every inch thing seemed to be unnecessary and detracts from the classic nature of the car. I agree the old Fuchs are a great look but I'd never powder coat a set of lobster forks or turbo twists. But as many have stated it is a matter of personal preference and to each his/her own.

IMO, each person has their own taste.. good or bad

and each car have their own unique style.

combine ur taste with ur car's distinct appearance (a 'spirit' if u will) and it will look gorgeous no matter what.


some cars look great blacked out.. others look awful.

some owners try do too much.. and take away from the car's individuality.

keep it classy it keeps the 5-0 away

I love black but I hate black. To hard to maintain and keep clean when you dont have time. I had S500 MBZ and Acura MDX in black and I could barely stand the first ding. However, I like the blackout look. Nice Job.

If U like it do. Who cares what others think. But if you are thinking about selling the care sometimes in the future, make sure it's reversible.
