this is why i want the matte black look (even though this is dark blue). Also thinking 22" would be big enough. What are th widest sized tire you can put on the ex with 22's?

I will be putting 285/35's on.
How much are you going to spend on just wheels?

 

[bobhew]

looking around the 2g area. 500/wheel. if i went 22's what is the widest i could go without going past fenders?

 

[JETZ]

All depends on your offset.

Mine are 9''.

Base model rulez !

I have always heard that spots need to be wiped off a matte finish immediately or it will stain. Good for a show car, but a nightmare for a driver.

I don't see many "good looking" matte finished cars driving around.

Matte Black

Saw this one on Facebook:

The morning dew is not flattering to that Ex!

 

[bluelion]

wow look at the size difference in the two houses behind the ex....what's up with that? hahaha

 

[VinceL]

The house on the left is the maid's quarters for the house on the left

After going through the expense of getting the EX painted matte black, the house on the left is all he can afford, if he's not actually sleeping IN the EX

Just noticed he even did up the factory 20's in black also

Notice the stain under the gas door.

The whole "matte black" SUV thing is an attempt to cover up the grocery getter / soccer mom side of the vehicle.

Gotta say, not a fan. I did like the JB Caddy that WestCoast Customs completed this past fall, don't know if I would own one?

Those aren't the factory 20's, those are the upgraded polished factory 20's.

Those aren't the factory 20's, those are the upgraded polished factory 20's.

That's what I meant, factory upgrade 20's, but still factory.

Check it out.. it's not paint. It's a wrap. My Neighbor got it done to his Mercedes. Cost about 2K.
