I have a black 2013 GT/CS. I took it to get matte black hood stripes, but the guy said he'd give me a great deal on a full matte black wrap! What should I do?! I've always thought matte black wraps are super sick, but I'm just not sure. Pic attached of what I currently have.

I've only seen one matte black Mustang, and it's certainly different. I'd be inclined to go for it; if the cool factor wears off in a few years, you can always take it off. Gloss black will never go out of style.
 
I've never thought stripes of any kind looked right on an S197. I personally think it's perfect the way it is....but to each their own. I will say, I have seen flat/matte black stripes on other cars and they start to look really awful as the paint fades and chips away over time. So take that for what it's worth.
 
I think certain colors, like GB, need stripes. The black, not so much. However, matte black on gloss black is more of an accent than a statement, which I do like. The full matte black wrap, on the other hand, intrigues me. It'll be different, for sure. Have you seen an example (in person) of a fully wrapped matte black car? It might be too much.
 
I'd go with the stripes, if either. Matte wraps are difficult to care for, and they look awful when they start peeling. And your current finish looks amazing. Hate to think of it all covered up.
 
Stripes look great on these cars. .. :)





One of my co-workers has a black Boss with matte black stripes. It looks awesome. Just my opinion, but I would go that route rather than a full matte wrap.
