My 370 has some rock chips that probably wouldn't be there had I gotten a CB. Still, the change in texture over time as compared to the paint, convinced me that I'll live with the odd chip. Maybe the Platinum Graphite color of my 370 wouldn't have been as obvious as the black on the Accord(?).
To each their own....

Just like with cars, there are different types of film. 3M has a lot of texture, but films like VentureShield Ultra have much less... and Avery Nano Fusion and Xpel Extreme have no texture. They are as smooth as the paint. They also hold up better over time if properly kept up. Black is a tough color to install on but if done properly and with a good film you will not see a difference in the texture. In fact if you wrap the full panel you will not see a difference in the protected areas compared to the unprotected areas. Graphite would be a great color since the metallic "hides" the film well if yuo dont go with the full panel wrap.
