Anyone have any pics of matte black 172's? I'm thinking of going that route. If they don't look good then I'll just ditch my 172's and get something else. i need a new look.

Here's a thread I saw recently in the E60 mods forum.

Instead of going rattle-can flat black, look at getting a nice gunmetal powder-coating done, in a satin- It'll look a 100% better when the sun hits 'em...
