Please don't. You should relive what I originally wanted to do before Chris Rado gave me the stink eye when I was at his shop & do a flat red.
Flat navy blue or orange will look good, too. I remember seeing Crawford's flat orange STi at SEMA in 2007 & that's what made me wanna go flat.
HOWEVER, KEEP IN MIND, MY TC'S A SHOW CAR AND IS NOWHERE NEAR A DAILY DRIVER. You WILL get rock chips & it's incredibly hard to touch up flat paint, like INCREDIBLY hard. On a range of 1-10, it's an 8 (chameleon paint definitely being a 10, which is what I may do if I decide to keep the tC). Ask VonStarINC. He had a flat paint job & needed a touch up & it all went downhill from there, & he repainted the car a gloss camo green (like the stock gen 1 color). Keeping the car clean is really difficult, too.
If your tC is a daily driver, don't go flat.

Jorge's STi is nice too. It looks a lot better since he got his front bumper to match the rest of the car.

Jorge needs a new hood.....hood scoop with a front mount?
Time to get a Kaminari reverse cowl, then we can park next to each other at shows, so I'm not stuck next to Sean's Smart, LOL.
