To Wrap or Not Wrap my CS?
Just picked up a new AW M3 CS this past Saturday. I'm debating a Satin Matte Black wrap. The AW looks great but I am wanting a more aggressive and menacing look. Should I wrap it Satin Black, or keep AW?

Had mine wrapped last year in Avery SW900 satin black
Did it all myself and I have never wrapped a car before. Took me 3 full days and it came out great. Looks amazing but..... First of all rain drops leave marks on satin, you can't wash it with regular water and have to use a special cleaner made for wraps. It collects dirt and dust like a magnet. If you drive a lot you should reconsider as you can see everything. Once fall started I took it off as I couldn't keep up cleaning it, one drive and you spend an hour cleaning it. Once you decide to take it off you will have glue residue and it's a pain to remove, it will take you a full day at least to get the car clean Did I regret it? Absolutely not and I'll wrap my car again one day but probably not satin black |

The easiest way to turn a brand new car into a piece of shit is to wrap it.
Do it! |

Went with a full XPEL stealth PPF on my BSM F80 and I couldn't be happier!
Not only does the satin finish accentuate the lines of the car, but it's easier to clean as well. The dust just washes off. Oh and it helps protect the paint too

Please don't wrap it. If you were looking for a more aggressive color you should've passed on AW. There's a reason the lion's share of the remaining CS cars are AW and BSM and dealers are willing to price them more aggressively. Hint: They're the colors no one wants.

I think the CS looks fantastic in Alpine White.
