Matte black show cars are nice to look at. But not my taste for a luxury car. I never understood covering perfectly good paint to make it dull paint or primered look. Once u get rims and a drop maybe it will all come together. You normally need a ultra aggressive car to pull off the matte black look.

what happen if you remove the wrap later on, would it mess up the paint too? or it would has glue stick on the paint?

Good job..looks like you know what you're doing when it comes to wrapping..i think once you get wheels and a nice drop, it will look aggressive..i would suggest if you feel like changing it up in the future, you should do matte blue..or any other matte color, just because matte black has been done over and over again..but good job on the car so far..

I wish i had the skill and more so the patience to do a wrap like this. Matte colors because they show the lines on the body so much better than glossy paints. I want to do matte white gloss black roof. Great job however. I would recomend dropping car on H&R. I just did it and honestly i dont scrape on driveways or anything so unless u plan on driving in 1+ foot of snow (which isn't a good idea even with an awd car) you will be fine. Now u just need to black out the headlights and fogs.
