Default Full Body Vinyl Ideas?

Someone drove by my car this evening and showered my 07 WRX with gravel putting white speckled chips all over the rear bumper, trunk and the entire passenger side of my car. Instead of him paying for a new paint job, I was kinda thinking about some kind of vinyl to cover most, if not ALL of the damage.

I have a silver WRX, not STi with black and gray 2 tone interior. There are no visual mods on the car and I have stock rims that are also chipped.

I think the official Subaru color code is Urban Gray Metallic, I have the lighter gray tone, versus the darker gray color.

Does anyone have any good vinyl ideas and color? I'm thinking of a black something...

I even thought of painting both sides and the bumpers black and leave the trunk, roof, and hood the original color...

Its still going to be my dd and its not going to be an awesome show car. I'm just looking for something different, not spastically crazy.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

dude man i say just do it right an paint it. Vinyl looks like shit and its just going to attract tons of ricers trying to race you. And the 2 tone would be cool but only the other way around.

Hmmm...Thanks for the vinyl input man.

Well the problem is that the damaged sides need to be painted. The non-damaged sides which are the hood, roof, and trunk dont need to be painted, which will stay silver. Its just the rear bumper and whole passenger side that needs to be taken care of...

Im a fan of 2 tone so I like to stick with that somehow...

My buddy has a red Evo 9 with black painted trunk, roof, and hood. IT does look siiiick...

Having a black hood would kinda hide the hood scoop a little... I wouldnt like that much...
