What’s In This Matte Black S-Class’s Trunk?
We don't know the answer to that question, but we'll hazard an educated guess it's not something legal. Sometimes you just have to launder that cash at the Krylon and DTM bodykit outlet. More » -

Matte Black Rolls Royce Phantom: Darth Vader's New Ride
What's more menacing than a Rolls Royce Phantom? How about a Rolls Royce Phantom that's been covered in a matte black paint job? This Phantom menace wears the tough-guy paint scheme magnificently well — even the hood ornament, the Spirit of Ecstasy, is blacked out.

Below, we've got a Streetfire video of the darkest Phantom on the planet. Lord Vader would approve.

It looks like something that took a wrong turn off of the Fiorano circuit during a secret testing session. But do you think it would've looked better in a normal gloss black? More » -
