Yeah, I can totally relate. That would be a deal break for me too. I think I will just wait and do some custom paint. I like the flat black look, but a good tasteful paint scheme can be just as cool.

Thanks!

Yeah, kylebucket is right and you can't apply any wax or polish the vinyl. There's different reasons why you would vinyl wrap as opposed to paint. The main benefit is that it's not permanent and there's a lot of color choices now. Since I can install the product myself it's a no brainer.
Thanks again for the props!

This is awesome.... Matte black looks so good on these cars. I wish I knew how to install the wrap myself, for 400 bucks I'd be changing colors every 6 months.

Elysium, how would you rate upkeep on a 1-10 scale (10 - worst compared to stock)? I have semi-harsh Winters in Jersey and obviously Canada is rough...have you gotten salts and stuff on it?

Does everything hold up well?
