looks good, however the trim around the windows throw it off. If you matte something, you have to stick with it throughout, or it will look weird and draw attention to spots you don't want it to. Kinda looks like a gunmetal color.

I always thought that the matte finish, when done correctly, looks so good on a car. In black I really like that look and it makes me really miss my 6th Gen. Good job!
