The nice thing about a wrap is that it's removable. If you get tired of the look, it's easy to remove. Recently having a wrap on some body panels on my car removed due to wanting to change up the design/look.

your car your decision...but for me, no. And while you're at it, get rid of the black out darth vaders window tint...looks absurd.

100% agree with this.

Some spatulas might work.Maybe not.
