#6 A good vinyl job looks like paint.
Actually not having hard edges, body panel breaks, and bumpers etc to hide seams makes the cobra shape far more difficult to wrap cleanly. The durability has a lot do with exposure to UV, so one of these if you could wrap it well would hold a long time. The vinyl can in fact damage the clearcoat and effect bodywork/glass that may still be gassing out. A great vinyl job can only look like mediocre paint.
