Xpel- matte or no??

About to wrap my DG M5C and can't decide if I want to use stealth wrap or not. I love the color but a change might be nice and the matte finish looks great in pics.
I'm on the fence! Wish I could see a side by side in person…
Any thoughts?

DG isn't terribly common, and it's not even available anymore (at least not in the build tool for the M5). I will say there are similar colors with different names on the M8's build tool. I regret not getting it and doing Stealth myself.

It'll look nice, I debated doing stealth but got quoted $10k. Just not worth that much money to me personally. Freakin full Akra exhaust for that.

I would go with STEK dynomatte. Same concept of matte ppf but it doesn’t mess with the color/shade as much as XPEL

Looks great!!

I'm dropping my car off on July 11th. Very excited for a change after three years. Installing LCI tail lights and tint as well.

Ready to fall in love all over again.

July 11th is finally upon us and my car is in the SHOP!!!!!!!
I'm so stoked! Finally went with STEK stealth wrap and a couple of carbon fiber goodies.

J&B bodyworks in Mt Vernon is doing the work. The body shop they are running there borders on unbelievable...a remarkable number of incredible cars in various stages of work. The attention to detail and hands on experience from management was awesome and basically shocking after becoming accustomed to dealing with BMW dealerships.

Of course I will report back with pics ASAP. Currently planning to pick up the car on Thursday.

J&B is probably one of the beat shops in NY. I'm sure it's a high cost job but you will love it.
