I agree w/ Primo and others; you need a pretty sinister car to start w/ to pull this look off. I'm not sure the S is the car for this.
Having said that
I've been told I have a pretty aggressive looking S, so I did a quick photochop to get a feel for what this could look like.

Edit: the more I look at this, the more I like it. I do need new paint lol

I wonder what my car would look like flat black?

Here is mine in EXXON VALDEZ CRUDE OIL DRIPPING OFF ON TO THE PAVEMENT BLACK
Like I said I want to do this as a project too but as a wrap and including some extensive themeing and branding on the vinyl
toekneeg where you at man?
that's so odd, cause I was looking at flat-blacking my car too, since it's already blacked-out.
I'm torn between wrapping it or painting as well, since my paint is pretty scratched up.
and then I'm torn on whether I should paint/wrap the hardtop.

I actually liked the look on my car enough that I did some research today. From what I've seen, painting it flat/satin might not be such a great idea. Seems the care on that type of paint is actually a lot harder than normal paint. If you get a nick or a stain, you can't rub it out like w/ normal paint b/c it creates a shiny spot, amoung other problems.
I didn't initially like the idea of a wrap, but after doing some reading, that sounds like a lot better option.
