I wouldn't do it. I've seen a few wrapped cars but they looked like crap in person. Maybe they didn't hire a professional to do the job and did it themselves but you would say the same thing if you were there with me to see the car. I would just get the clear bra but that's just my opinion.

Ok soo you want to wrap it flat black I would HIGHLY suggest you go with a product like 3M's or XPELS matte protective film over your car. Normal vinyl cars have big issues with rock chips.... And not always the best install. Now since I have been at the sema show this week I have seen all the different brands and techniques and by far I feel the 3m and the XPEL products were the best! They were easily applied were thicker material. They were easy to stretch to form fit hard and complex areas and they were able to be removed with zero left over residue!!!! Big plus in my eyes. The XPEL product was really nice and they pre cut all the pieces for your car and you can't see any lines anywhere!!!

I would agree for the most part. In person I have seen 3 cars that had a full wrap only the one looked good, however there two guys I know that have wrapped either the roof or the hood and roof and they both look good. I think this is because trying to wrap the bumpers would be a real PITA.

O.P. - GL with the wrap post pics when you get it done. $500 isn't a bad deal.......I would almost wrap my 40th if I could get it that cheap and have it look good, then just take it off in couple years.......
