Default flat black or glossy

I was wondering which one you all think i should go with. if any of you have any pictures to share of the two...(flat and glossy black) on any car please post. Or if you could do a photoshop of my car in flat black, that would also help out.

Nice car!

Hahaha, wow...I feel retarded...No, don't make it flat black, keep it like it is...Flat black on an STI is still nice because its an STI...but on that civic it'd look a little ghetto.

exactly, flat black is the like perfect "sleeper" color, if your doesnt have the power to back it up then it would be silly to put that on over a nice gloss black

yeah, and I'm not dogging on your car, but most people don't know what you have in the engine bay, but a wrx still has that new car air around it...It just has a decent paintjob and is fairly glossy, looks clean. I'd keep it like that. If you went flat black, it would look bad after a while, blotchy, and would look like you couldn't afford to get it painted.
