The Mustang doesn’t have the body to pull off the matte black look…stay shiny. Guarantee your car will look like it’s in primer if you go matte. ---

Jet black… and if it were MY car, i would have the Cobra letters on the back bumper filled in so its just plain, or even go with a regular GT rear bumper, as its not a real cobra. Gets me excited when i see that on a rear bumper :D. EDIT: Im assuming you didnt swap to a 4V motor, or at least not an 03-04 Motor (i dont see anything through the front bumper) ? ---

Mike? if so it’s Tabak. As a mustang melvin I just don’t feel like they make great matte black cars, but it would be a great way to be different, that is how trends start after all, by going against the grain. oh and DEFINITELY take the spoiler off. ---
