I love the look of the black Magno paint of the edition 1, however I would hate to worry about a scratch or just caring of this paint job. For the same price and relatively the same look I planned on wrapping it with Xpel Stealth to give it the look and in addition paint protection. The current car is growing on me and everyone seems to love it as is. I generally don't like full black out cars, however this is a mean car. The Stealth will add some contrast since I will leave some body parts glossy i.e. mirrors, handles, rocker panel. I plan on wrapping the front aluminum grill area and the door handles.



So the question is leave glossy or go for the Xpel?

I love the way this car looks, my personal preference would be to leave it glossy but still apply a protective film which will keep the paint from getting swirls. I ordered a white with black wheels E63s and a black F90 M5 and I'm torn on which one to buy. My M5 came in last week (picture below) and I'm still waiting to hear when my E63s will arrive - no idea what I'm going to do.

Everyone has preferences, I'm not that crazy about black myself, if it were me I'd wrap it in nice copper orange color, lol, but thats me. I've thought about doing that with my red one just to turn more heads,
