flat black is pretty sick if done correctly.

Flat black has never been done before, you should do that.

Well my plan has always been to go flat black with my g35x. I happen to really like seeing vehicles in matt black. I vote yes for matt black, then post lots of pics. And let me know what you paid to get it painted. Im trying to decide between paint, and full wrap.

Try a wrap, if you don't like it, change it! I LOVE flat black but it is a little overdone IMO! Pick your favorite color and clear it in matte clear...

Get it painted back to the stock ls color, then when the paint has fully cured get it wrapped. Painted matte cars are a TON of upkeep. Wrapped ones are super duper easy to keep clean. With a matte paint job you have to crack out the polishing/rubbing compound every time a bird craps on your paint job.

Wrap it!!!

Well, definitely sticking with the LS. Its just a great color and it shows the curves of the body very nice. Next thing is to find some good track/everyday coilovers. The wrap is a good idea, but I'm just not big on them. Worked at a Toyota dealership for a few years and saw some Scions wrapped in some pretty neat stuff in our showroom but never stayed on for to long.

what are the price ranges for wrapping?
i was thinking of getting my roof either painted matte black or getting the vinyl overlay...
not sure what to do yet, and not very lucky finding pix online...

Any flat paint is very difficult to maintain, even though it looks awesome... I wouldn't recommend it.
