wow newbie account indeed.... think a little bit about things before you post a response
you don't think a guy who owns an R8 can afford 10 g's for a paintjob ?
The reason he probably went vinyl, hell.. the reason almost ALL exotic car owners go with vinyl wrap is to protect the value of the car since for some stupid reason if a car is fully repainted it's "supposed" to lose a bit of market value when it gets resold..
second... maybe a bit easier for you to understand, the vinyl wrap protects the car's stock paint from most nicks and chips which will definitely come in handy when
A: either the lease is up
or
B: selling the car
oh and I almost forgot, another important reason would be that the car might be a lease, so it's done for return purposes.
in any case..... it's highly likely YOU just got owned, as opposed to the dude rolling around in a batmobile R8 around town..

as for the guys wondering how vinyl wrapping is done....
as you can see in the pics, you need wrap and you need a blowdryer... or if you're good at not melting shit, then heatgun will work

Real rich people don't care about resell value, they don't sell their own cars ! they get their secretary to sell it. "Real Rich" do what they want, care less about outcomes. That's real rich !

this guy parks at ubc rosegarden almost every day. it's the most flat parking lot, so he can enter it without any scrapes. see his car there all the time. and yes, it's a taiwanese guy, roughly year 2 to 3.

If I had one of those, I'd be super paranoid about door dings!

A wealthy person that has worked for their money would definitely be concerned about "outcomes."
On topic: Matte black looks so damn good on that R8. Looking forward to seeing it up close at the auto show.
