It's been used a while and I don't see bad looking cars around.
A friend of mine runs a high-end body shop and he's impressed with it - lasts five+ years with no damage to the underlying paint. In fact, he thinks it protects the paint.
If there's a look you want, go for it.
What are you getting as estimates (and for how much coverage)?
Have you ever heard of Plasti Dip? It sprays on like spray paint, but isn't permanent. When you're ready to take it off, you just peel it off. It's cheap compared to a wrap or other vinyl graphics. I used it to paint racing stripes on my truck last year (pic below) and was very pleased with it. I used the spray can but you can get it in gallons to use with a paint gun. It was very durable and provided good protection to the areas it covered. I only took it off because I had to have body work done.
