Matte wrap on Vantage, opinions?
Guys, looking for some opinions on this.
Trying to decide if I should keep my Vantage wrapped or remove the wrap (its black underneath) I am getting lots of feedback but would value the opinion of other Aston owners rather than the people who are currently giving me advise.
Its a metallic matte gray and looks very aggressive but with so many cars doing the matte or "flat" look does it take away the Aston Martin appeal?
The car was wrapped before being displayed at the SEMA Show, don't get me wrong the job is top notch and most people think its paint; even close up. Here is a photo... looking forward to some feedback.

The pic does not do the wheels justice, they are bronze plated USW Forged wheels with black chrome inner and outer barrels. Quality is impressive and the bronze finish is amazing in person

Those wheels....gotta go. WAY too much bling. Way.

And do I see LED's under the side stake grills and in the headlamps? Really?

+1 on the wheels needing to go. It's not that they aren't quality pieces or even that they look bad... they just look really out of place on an Aston.
As far as the Matte wrap... Personally I have a love/hate opinion. I actually do love the look of matte wraps when done really well. I think some cars are made better with them and others not so much. But they always give off that custom vibe. It's tasteful but personal-choice custom treatment.
It takes a bold personality to take something like an Aston Martin and then go further with it to customize it /mod it. After all it's not like you are trying to be the BMW that gets set apart from the gazillion other BMWs that are on the road.

Anodizing Industries in SoCal, just a heads up... its not cheap. With the centers bronzed and the inner and outer barrels black chromed just the finish work was about $700 per wheel.

Not sure what you mean, those are stock rotors no paint.
