That looks baller. I assume they had to remove panels and such to do a full wrap? How do they handle the door sills and underhood, etc., etc.?

@TheTorch thanks man. I’m pretty pleased by how it came out.

Mostly bumpers and headlights were removed. Plus some other smaller trims like the trims on the roof, antenna etc.

i left the door jamb and under-hood out. Could be wrapped with extra cost if wanted. The car was black on black originally so it looks ok to leave those black - if the car was white on black, leaving the door jamb white will look odd, but black door jamb goes nicely with the black interior.

Would you mind sharing the cost on this job? Always thinking of doing a wrap job on mine, with renewed interest after seeing a gorgeous Racing Green one here the other day.

The door handles, which must be tricky, look like paint. Impressive.

I think the guy might have taken the handle off in he process, not 100% sure though. This new wrap Inozetek is great.

I'm sure some bug guts will set it off nicely.

Vinyl wraps coat around $3k. PPF wraps cost around $6k-$7k. Higher material cost and more work to install.

High end shops can charge 5-6k for vinyl, at least here in tri-states; 3k for vinyl is relatively cheap for around here.
