I'm yet to see a wrap that looks spectacular, especially up close (including those two cars above which I saw at SEMA a couple of weeks ago)... and this is coming from someone that works in the film industry!
I don't understand why people rag so much on wraps? You are correct they don't look like paint but they are also a fraction of the cost and frankly are not even in the same category. It doesn't mean they look like crap! I have a partial wrap on my scarab and no it's not "perfect" but I get compliments constantly at how great the boat looks and how nice of a "paint job" it has. People are amazed when I tell them it's not paint. If I wanted to drop $25k on a paint job then I would have done that but instead I dropped less then $5k and I am just as happy!
