Keep black hood wrap or take it off?

Just wondering how many of you would keep the black hood wrap or take it off? I hope the hood is painted in the ordered color so when its removed the the hood does not need to be painted.

Im currently trying a way to afford a 1Le and if I did get one I would take the wrap off. I like the look without it and I think its easier to take care of too.

I'm probably going to keep mine for a while...It doesn't look bad in the photos, but I think I'm gonna eventually want stripes instead

Wraps are like bad body work they leave the door open for rust to attack!!! I say yank the the wrap and paint it so that it's easier to maintain and you won't have to worry about what's going on underneath.

The hoo is already painted, the wrap goes on afterwards like the stripes. I plan to keep it although i never liked vinyl stripe material. I would really like to get teh ZL1 bumper and hood, but not sure if it is wot the money, better off spending money on performace.

I agree I like the signature look much like the GTO Judge stripes and other muscle cars that set them apart but I think for my personal car I would take it off. If you plan on keeping it forever all original and want to maybe turn it into an investment then keep it on otherwise do what you want with your car.

I will be keeping mine on. Hopefully keeping it garaged will help the vinyl last a little bit longer.

It looks cheap, I will remove it immediately, or replace it for rally or transformer stripes, or none.

The hood is aluminum.. My vote is to keep it and I hate vinyl stickers and what not on these cars, painted would be better..
