don't get a really dark tint job, nor black out your lights, or get gloss black rims if you paint it flat black, it'll just make your car look cheap and not very appealing

the only bad thing about spray bombing your car flat black is that the paint will hold in moisture and cause your car to rust faster, southern cars won't really be affected, but if you live in a northern state that gets snow just be prepared.
