I think you should get shadowline trim first, I actually like that color. With the money that you would use for the wrap you can get a new rear bumper/side skirts/black roof and the trim. A vinyl wrap will probably be 2k+ with installation

whichever you choose, I say wrap rather than spray...better priced and easier to switch to the other choice if desired...

As long as you realise a respray will destroy the resale value.

I am in the same boat as you. I really want to go with matte black but honestly been seeing a lot of those on the streets lately. I am considering matte white. I personally am more towards paint over wrap. Cool look in my eyes would be matte white, shawdowline trim, matte black rims and red brake calipers.

Which ever way you go please share pics.
