black gfx on my teal camaro

I was wanting to do this for longtime,
finally I made my decision and did it.
the rear is still plain teal, but side and front is now black
and I personally like it. what do u all think?

just keep in mind I was so eager to take pic the car hasnt been washed for a while.. so its usually a little shinier than this. I wanted some feedback on doing on the rear part, weather I should paint the whole rear bumper or just the buttom skirt part of the rear bumper. in advance for ur input.

thanks gallile.
personallly I think it gives a sharp and mean look.
I might get a black stripe on my left side of whole car
to compliment it.

taking the gfx was PITA though,
I broke so many holes and its hard as hell to put them back in
like it was before.. I have gaps that are noticable if u look at it close,
but fortunately only when the door is open..

lemmi know how urs go

Please post some more, TONS, pics. I have a teal Camaro myself and I was thinking about doing this, but not sure how it would look with black headlight pockets, Iroc grill and black hood stripes

BTW, what kind of black is it ? Gloss or satin ?

What do you guys think though, some people claim black ground effects make a car look .. raised ?

I can't make up my mind whether I should paint mine black or not, something tells me no keep it body color (teal), something tells me yes easy to touch up if it gets scraped.
