I'm a fan of the glossy black. I would just paint it. If you insist on wrapping it and you see streaks or marks from the install just make em redo it.

good pics! Looks like I am swaying towards getting it done in matte.

If you've never done a vinyl wrap before, I'm pretty sure you'll have a hell of a time with a DIY.
