@Reborn996 - Your car looks elegant.

@Sphinz - Your buddy's car needs flames, monster truck wheels, and a horn that plays "La Cucaracha"

I guess I'm just an old guy. I'm not a fan of the current trend of matte finishes. To me, they look like primer and scream incomplete. However, everyone's taste is different and each person should go with what they like.

I do have a question. Has anyone seen what a car looks like after a wrap has been removed? I read many comments that say "you can just peel it off later," but I've never actually seen a car that has had the wrap removed.

What an amazing machine!!! The color of the wheels contract perfectly with the wrap and SCREEEEAAAMS " street fighter"! The red anodized look of the wheels tie in the look great!

I know there are guys that already posted their negative thoughts... who cars!! this is what is so great about ownership! You can do whatever you want! If there wasnt guys like us to flip the old, all of these cars would look the same and the "custom car" ideas would be non existant!

GOOD JOB!

Currently working on my matte finish, glad I have yet to see any like the one I am doing. Not sure I care for the first shade of primer gray, the second is much better. But I like different.

I like the grey, I like the matte, but the two together, while they look great, have that primer stigma KevinR is on about. I guess if the grey was a little lighter and gloss we'd have Sport Classic Grey, which feels a little more complete.

That said, I love matte on white, silver, and black cars for some reason, but loads of respect for being bold about whatever you personally love.
