Color choice is a funny thing. I don't think there are two people that would rank every vette color / related options in the same way.

I'm afraid to admit this--and I do so as someone that picked black wheels--but I like the chrome wrap look better than the dark gray or silver paint choices. Not that I would ever wrap a car but I'd also never pick either of those paint colors.

Though I'd still do black wheels with it.

Looks like a matchbox car. Oddly enough, I like it! Wouldn't *want* it, but I like it!

Looks like a 1960s jet fighter. I do like chrome but that looks interesting.

As long as the owner is happy with it then all is good.

The nice thing about these wild wraps is that they are completely reversible. It's only money, why not?

Looks better to me than some of those rat rod, no-paint, primer-look cars that are wrapped. Like others say, color or lack thereof is purely personal.
