Hey all, I am upgrading the aero on my new c7 z51 and I was wondering if it's better to paint the new parts or to have them wrapped. Durability vs customization vs look, etc. My list of mods below:
Stage 3 front splitter
Z06 side skirts
z06 Stage 3 wing
If you don't plan on ever changing the color, I would paint them. Wrapping is good for leased cars or if you know you're gonna want to change the color IMO.

Or if you not sure exactly how much you will like the look.
Paint will always be the better option if you plan on keeping the car forever. It's a little more vibrant and will always have the cleaner look. That being said wrap is a great alternative. I wrapped my car. I don't know if when decide to sell it 100% of persepective buyers will like the stinger stripe roof wrap and halo wrap that I've done to it. It's nice to know that should it's next owner want a completely stock look or if I even get sick of it and want a change all I need is a heat gun to have a blank canvas to start on again. You will get 98% of the painted look with wrap enjoy having the car look the way you want it and save a bunch of money in the process. My roof halo and hood only cost my $300. Here it is.
For the mods that you are talking about i would definitely consider wrap on 2 of the three. You should paint the spoiler and wrap the ground effects imo. The ground effects / aero get beat up and wrapping them will be a lot more cost effective in the future should they need to get redone.

Wrapped vs painted
