Matte black would make the wagon look for sleeker. Anything that is not a two tone set up such as the one its currently got lol. Go with a darker color than a lighter one. Vinyl takes more to take care of, so if you get white and do not take care of it, it may yellow.

I love matte black vinyled cars, but the one thing that kills me is seeing them dirty.
Seems like all the ones I see on the road look straight filthy. The dirt shows very easily. So, keep it washed if you do go that route!

Just had that discussion about matte black vehicles with my passengers today. The general consensus between all three of us was bleeeeehhhh.

That usually happens when you buy the cheap ****. If you want things to look good and not yellow/turn out looking like sht, buy the good stuff, and treat for it like a real paint job and you won't have that problem.

WEll I planned on just buying the material and doing the work myself.


I might get a small piece and do a small section (the hood scoop, front bumper?) just to test the look and wearability.

If you can beat these prices for the GOOD auto vinyl, then lets talk!

Interesting. I live on that street and I never noticed that place before. Well at least if I want to get a vinyl wrap down the road I can just head "down the road" to get one

FYI, there's already a satin black (paint) Legacy wagon running around San Jose - he's on the boards here. The other black OB you posted is also paint- it's a RallyX monster with a built EJ22T that will beat on STi's.

I know they just moved so I'm not sure if that is their new or old address.

I get my material sample today. Stoked.
