Thinking about Matte Black

Hey guys!

Was at the RALLYE BMW Car Show yesterday, great event.

On the ride home, my wife and son told me that after seeing the cars at the show, they think matte black would look really menacing on the GT, especially with its new wheels coming on Thursday and new M-fenders arriving in a little while.

What do you guys think? Would it suit my GT? I have to switch all the matte black accents to gloss black if I do it.

Now, please don't start any wars here, but kamigawa was showing me his X3 which is Plastidipped, and the quality and look is incredible, especially for the price. I've also seen vinyl wraps, which look just as good, but are a lot more $$$. They are both coatings that go over the paint and help keep it preserved. Now the real question is, is vinyl really worth the extra $1-2K? What are the benefits over Plastdipping. Some of my parts are already plastidipped and it hold up fine.

I included some pics of my GT as well as a matte black (non-modded) GT I found the internet. Lemme know what you think.
