I think if you want this look you should do a wrap.

Matte can look great, but it depends heavily on the lines of the car imo. Personally, I really like matte on angular cars (see above). But I agree it looks like ass on a civic.

If the owner wants to spend money on it, let him do what he does.
Likewise, if others have the freedom to spend their money on it, I don't necessarily have to like it.
