Wrap for a G

I have wanted a G for a while and am considering pulling the trigger sometime in the near future, but I am waffling between the matte and clear finish. I like the matte better right now, but am concerned about upkeep and whether that is what I will want long term. So, I am considering a matte wrap on clear to have the best of both worlds.

Has anyone done this to a G and have pictures of how things turned out?

Thanks in advance,

Both look incredible--would never of known that was a wrap. Any concern or words of warning re removal because I cannot see why that would not be the way to go if you wanted a matte finish. Probably protects the clear underneath pretty well too.

wrap removal should be done by professional installer as it'll take time to remove the wrap...
you can also go with satin finish which is half matte and half gloss...

Look into PlastiDip or HaloEFX installers. Much less harsh than vinyl wraps. Lasts longer, more color options, can do wheels.

I had 3M on a car (wrapped orange) for 110 days, it was awesome! easy to clean and wipe down, and when I was ready to remove it I did it myself and it was (timeconsuming) pretty easy! and left no foul-ness behind
