Default Flat black paint - yay or nay?

What does everyone think of flat black cars? Do you like it, or do you think it's a lame trend?

I just flat blacked my fox body. I'll post up some pics when i get home. I like how it looks whether it's a matte black, or just rattle cans.

Your car does look great. Who did the paint work?

I like flat black on mean looking performance oriented cars; I think the flat black can actually highlight the shadows of dark and light and make it pretty dramatic. [See your original pics.] Now an econo-box, maybe not so much.
