I'm considering black as well but I'm concerned on how the matte black will look with wax on it. It would be a real pain if I had to keep the wax off the stripes when I wax the car. It would be appreciated if anyone with matte black stripes can add their $.02 on how they wax their car.

TIA

Another thing to mention is that matte vinyl will most likely start to fade/crack within 5-7 years depending on the weather conditions the car is subjected too. Since you can't apply wax on matte stripes without altering the look, well, just another thing to consider.
