vinyl is the way to go with matte colors, only problem is you basically need flawless paint on your car or it wont look right.

say do it.. would it to much to ask to put the white star that the military has on the jets as well, kind of like the ams car but like the older jeeps? like from ww1 & ww2. i think that would look pretty neat with one on the trunk as well as the sides but either way go for it
