When you do purchase a kit car in your 10-15 year time frame, maybe the technology will have improved. But as of now, I've seen a few vinyl wraps up close and they're G-d awful.
I briefly wrestled wrapping the hard shells of some sport seats that I have for another car and, after seeing the vinyl crap, I had my seat shells painted. They came out gorgeous and for similar money to vinyl wrap.

Kit car, continuation, replica, tribute, fake, factory assembled in South Africa, hot rod shaped like a Cobra... are we going to start this again?
Vinyl wrap, plastic dip, or something else will pop into mainstream. It's good to keep an open mind & experiment.
I've seen vinyl wraps on cars & bicycles and some do look crappy, some look good, and some look great. I guess u get what u pay for in materials and craftsmanship.
