Respectfully, I think you are bored because you have too much money and time on your hands

Go and get that baby professionally detailed and add some touches here and there. Personally, I would not go near a black car with a 30 foot pole.

The flat or matte colors look really neat on the vehicles; this thread, with the same article that you posted, has some other examples of a vehicle being wrapped: see post 11
