The Not-So-Secret Society of Black Car Enthusiasts
Let's face it, there's a certain camaraderie among black car drivers. We're a shadowy bunch, gliding around the arena like ninjas on wheels. We may not always win (hey, gotta blame the car, right?), but we sure look good doing it.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.![]()
But before you jump into online matches with your new blackout paint job, there are a few things to consider:
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.![]()
- The Commitment: Owning a black car is a lifestyle choice. Be prepared for opponents to call you try-hard or edgy. Just channel your inner goth and rock it with confidence.
- The Downsides: You might miss some sweet boost pads (they can blend in with the shadows, you see). Also, forget about fancy painted decals – they'll disappear into the abyss.
But hey, who needs colorful butterflies when you can be a sleek, intimidating force?

Obtaining Your Automotive Darkness
Now, onto the nitty-gritty. Here are the various ways to turn your car into a rolling blackout:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.![]()
- Decals, Decals, Glorious Decals: Some decals offer a predominantly black look. Think G2 Esports, NRG, or the ever-classy Fancy Formal. Just remember, these often have logos or patterns, so you might not achieve pure darkness.
- Team Up for Blackness: This one's a neat trick. If you create a club or join a tournament, you can set your team colors to black. This will only work in club matches, but hey, it's a step towards black car domination!
Important Note: These methods require some dedication (grinding for items) or social interaction (joining a club). If you're a lone wolf who craves instant darkness, there's another option...
- Enter the BakkesMod Matrix (PC Only): For our PC brethren, there's a glorious mod called BakkesMod. It allows you to, among other things, change your car's color to anything your heart desires, including the darkest black imaginable. Just remember, great power comes with great responsibility. Use this wisely and maybe avoid painting your car neon pink.
There you have it, folks! With a little know-how and maybe a touch of digital trickery (looking at you, BakkesMod users), you can join the ranks of the black car elite. So crank up your goth rock playlist, channel your inner Batman, and get ready to strike fear (and maybe a little confusion) into the hearts of your opponents. Just remember, with great darkness comes...well, maybe just a slightly higher chance of missing boost pads. But hey, a small price to pay for looking this cool, right?
