Paint or Wrap?

Just wondering has anyone ever wrapped the roof of GS instead of black paint to give it that panoramic look?
Will the glue of the wrap affect the paint?
Which is better?

I say man-up and paint.

You could add colored metal flake for a unique effect.
(mine is NightHawk Black with blue metallic)

Vinyl wrap always looks like.... vinyl.

I'm not sure if theres really a price difference, depending on where you have it done. However, taping it might make it easier to take off in the inevitable event you intend to return it to stock and sell.

i remember that the guy that had it done, i think the price was pretty close as the wrap cost quite alot. Painting it will look much better and it wont really affect the resale as its only on the roof and not distasteful.
