well if it looks that bad then take it off but still I would make sure to get it clear bra right after u take it off.

I vote to take it off. All are valid points about pros and cons.
My honest opinion is that it was not a great wrap job. You can see the white way too much when you get up close and personal.

remove it and get clear bra installed for the complete hood, pillers and side moldings.

I actually like the matte black look. Put some aggressive rims on that bad boy and call it a day!! 
Like some of us said, the paint underneath may be something u don't want to deal with after the wrap comes off.

+1 for just adding rims.
I have taken off a couple of wraps before and be prepared for it. Depending on how well the the wrap was installed in the first place is going to determine what the paint looks like underneath and how it will look after you remove the vinyl. Also... if they used cheap vinyl... good luck. You will need an adhesive remover that contains no alcohol. Anything citrus based will work, but its a slow steady process. You will need to treat the car to a nice clay bar detail afterwards aslo. AVOID using razor blades all together! One little slip and you've got a massive scratch in your paint (trust me... I know ).
Good luck if you try to remove it. It might almost be worth it to pay a professional to remove it.

I say leave it on for a while. It has several advantages and it doesn't look bad at all.

I personally think it's cool, especially with some aftermarket wheels. But i do agree, that you should leave it on for a period of time, then take it off.Originally Posted by CaptAwsm
I say leave it for a bit. Then when you take it off, it will be like a new car again. Personally, I would not pay for such a wrap, and it sounds like wouldn't either. I do think it is cool looking and while its on there, might as well rock it for a while. Its also like a bra for your entire car.. can't get rock chips with it wrapped.
