please dont do this to your G...if you want that look just get a flat/matte black paint job.

like Solis said, it will end up costing about the same and getting the vinyl will be MUCH LOWER quality

To do the ENTIRE car, you'd have to pay the professionals. Labor will make it very expensive. Like others said, might as well go with paint+clear coat.

It may cost the same as paint....but if you dont like it, it is free to go back to your orginal color. I say go for it if that is what you want. It is your car, do what you feel.

By putting on a vinyl, he wont have to worry about resale value as much as if he were to paint it. Matt black is a hard color to care for and can easily be scratched.

Unless your car is a show car, I say vinyl it.

Peeling issues with Vinyls are endless, it's a must to get it done by professionals which might even cost 1.5 - 2 times as much as a paint job.

It will also look ugly on a stock G37 IMO
