Why would someone want to wrap a $35k car in $150 worth of stickers?

That 07 sedan is done right but it's no vinyl overlay. Vinyl could never look like that.

I say NO to a vinyl wrap on any car.

Don't do it. No vinyl. If you want matte, get it painted, and get it painted right. A lot of people screw up the matte paint.
You definitely need a drop and a lot more mods before you can pull off matte.

If you use "cast vinyl" you won't have any problems taking it off in the future, leaves no residue or whatsoever, and also it won't damage your paint. I got cast vinyl on my roof and on my trunk. Probably most of the guys are iffy on the vinyl because they probably used a lower series "calender film vinyl."

From what I understand, a properly installed full car vinyl overlay like that costs about the same as just getting it painted.

This was discussed on my350z.com a bit ago... it can look real good done properly, just look at the porsche done in this thread:
