WRAP! that's the way to go! about $2.5-3K

Wrap is what I did on my rear diffuser after a body shop quoted me for $130 just to paint a diffuser.

ahmmm yeah wrap will not drop the value of the car, keeps your original paint looking...well original and if you get bored you can change it to another color in a few years... oh and make sure you get a 3 year warranty

I don't get this whole matte wrap fad. I think it looks hideous.

Does the wrap harm the paint? I saw a couple cars that had a black wrapped roof, but when it was taken off the paint was hazy.

It shouldn't harm it at all.. if anything, it should preserve it as good as it was before it was put on. Before vinyl installation you want to do a full detail.... clay bar, wax, the works... and the vinyl will protect the paint.
