Message	I don't care for vinyl wraps either. But given the choice between a complete wrap or having severely mismatched and/or unpainted body parts while driving around, I'd go with the wrap. Hands down. I would, however, go into knowing the wrap would be a temporary thing, as Jeffblue is stating it would be. I would never even consider wrapping a car thinking it'd be permanent. But after looking at the other pics posted of his car, I think painting the panels that need it and buffing the holy hell out of the others to match would be the best choice at this point.
