Easy answer, stay with the LS! Consider the resale value loss if you went FB unless you found a immature buyer that thought it was cool....Gary

if you're really wanting flat black... maybe look into getting a wrap? That way if it isn't what you thought you could always go back without affecting the resale.

But if it's a "this is getting done reguardless" I'd keep it factory, flat black would hide some of the curves meant to be highlighted

I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. So if not LS maybe something different? I do like the curves of the car. Just don't know what color that would show them the right way.

I'd stick with LS. Flat black can look good but sometimes it can look out of place.

Well, I believe I'm sticking with the LS. Body shop says it'll be an est. 1500 to get it all done. Honestly I love that color and can't wait to get her lowered. In the market for some coilovers now. Been told Megan Racing. I think I may go that route.

BC coilovers are the best for the street and occasional track run, price is reasonable and the quality first rate....Gary

Good that you decided to stay with your OE color.

I was going to say if you insist on "flat" black, go with satin or matte. Not flat, though. Flat will look dull and aged after six or seven months.
