The wrap guy is coming tomorrow and my original plan was remove the wrap from my roof, exposing the factory gloss black paint and wrapping the front bumper with center gloss black section to mimic the ACR design. I'm leaving the decklid alone. Now that the wheels are on and the hood is gloss black im having second thoughts about the roof. Do you guys think i should leave it flat or do it gloss?

There is an 08 i believe on youtube that might help. search for viper wrap. Its flat like yours but does gloss stripes. Nice imo. Check it out

I think it's going to depend how well the gloss black wrap on the bumper matches the hood

I agree with this but I would also have to consider doing the deck lid as well, or call it a day and wrap the hood in matt. By the way that is one bad ass looking snake.

I'd think a gloss / matte combo ACR design would be absolutely awesome. Whatever you do, share pics when its done. Loving those wheels.

Dang that car is sweet. What were you asking???

Haha! I'd go with the original idea. Gloss black roof!

I guess worst case I can always wrap it again lol. I'm gonna do the bumper first and see what it looks like then go from there.

That's amazing durability!
No rock chips and chinks in the front?

Zero! PM me if you need the company that did this. They used a laminate over the matte wrap which gives it more durability and keeps the matte protected from all the elements. Also makes it VERY easy to clean the car!

I am contemplating doing my GenV when it comes in, in matte orange - but i think the dimensions of the GenV hood are too big (the largest width made is 60'')

For some reason I can't quite understand. I think flat looks bad ass. I would maybe make the hood flat and be done with it.

my original hood was flat. To me, there was to much flat and it made the car too dull.
