I really like lightly matte finishes on curvy cars they really bring out the lines. Looks great.

Looks great. It's what my Sophisto Grey aspires to be.

What a cool color ,it's kinda matte as the appendix frozen indicates but very outstanding

skinrock · 03-20-2017, 05:50 AM

Interior looks good.

Am i the only one thinking matt black is so 2010?

I don't know if this or the other protonic's are the same but I have seen the red edition and the sill inserts look rubbish. A small detail that would drive me nuts

At the base of the door, i.e. the running board? I actually switched to the Pure Impulse inserts. It's a nice little improvement imo. Higher quality, the lettering is laser etched.

isn't matte color harder to keep clean? or just harder to clean?

Exactly the pure impulse ones are now standard in the UK but the protonic red edition ones I hated. Good job switching them
