Not a big fan of the car, but I would have to say it works down there.

Matte process is hard to pull off, only some cars and shops can actually do it right, in this case that GT-R is very nice.

I guess I just don't get it. Why make a new car's finish look like it has been sitting out in sun for 15 years?

U've probably said that before when the E60 M5's where out. Every new tech has twitches. They will solve this issue. At least the reported broken gearboxes dont come close to SMG's 1st year record.

I've never understood dull finishes, they look like somebody look a rattle can and ruined a perfectly good car...

At least BMW wouldn't fuck you over on repairing it like Nissan is...

I'm sorry, yes the matte works for that car over in the desert, but I just don't like the design of it at all.

True i cant argue with that. But if he cant afford a new tranny then its his problem, he should have known from the beginning not to abuse the tranny in that way to avoid future holes in the wallet.

I think it looks great! Kinda looks like a clay model. With that said though, I'd never order a car with that kind of paint job.
