Nice. Not sure if anyone's asked yet, but are you going to do anything to your wheels so they're not gunna be such a contrast to the motif of the matte?
Thats pretty much one of the reasons why I feel kinda limited to a black, matte or a gunmetal finish. My Vertinit's do however have a gloss black lip. (small one). Any chrome against the matte, to me, would clash horribly and seem kinda cheesy. To each his own tho.
I think if you powder coated the face of your wheels matte and did the lips in a nice gloss black it would look great with the route your going. Shiny chrome on matte tho =

That looks AMAZING! Gotta hand it to you, you have some stones to tear into this they way you have
BTW, didn't you just finish the slick high-gloss black roof, only to redo it all matte black

nah, im doing the car in matte black but with high gloss black accents....so the rear diffuser on my MTech rear bumper, the kidney and lower grills on the M5 Tech front bumper, the door handles, the roof, the shadowline trim and the underside of the M5 mirrors are all going to be high gloss black...
