Needs a drop I think and a more aggressive stance to pull off the matte, but I am amazed and how good a wrap looks these days, probably better then most shops could touch with paint and you can take it off, even better! The cost is probably about the same though (cheaper than a good shop I suppose) but sometimes its the way out that makes it worth it.
I am not a fan of the CF wrap though, just a shortcut IMO.
But keep going with a drop, black outs and the car could look pretty unique with a nice set of rims.
For me, matte seems aggressive, so when its done on a stock stance, it looks a bit too plain. The F has nice lines from the factory, which makes it more doable. Just gotta make sure it all flows.

I'll smoke the head lights and tail lights a little bit just to match the steath look of the body. Will update some photos once it's done.

I think it looks great. I was at the Paris Auto Show a few weeks ago and there were several cars with the matte finishes (paint) in black, blue and red. They looked great in person. These were very high end cars. They also had a BMW M3 concept that was matte black.
I have to agree about the gas door not fitting in well but I really like the rest.

How is the ride with the KW V3s on YVR roads? Are they less bouncy as stock?
She is actually equipped with KW V3. Because it's my daily drive, I purposely raised it just for the Vancouver winter. Heard that it's gonna be the worst winter in 50 yrs.
