Awesome! I love that it looks like it's painted (not the typical matte wrap). How much does a vinyl wrap like that typically run?

how does it look up close ? the last one i saw wrapped in gloss looked pretty bad, obviously not paint, had a lot of texture/bumpiness to it (just a bad wrap i guess)

Not too bad. Of course, if you know the color you want and find a good shop, you could probably do a repaint for $5k orso.

a good re-paint would be 10k easy

That seems like a lot. The shop that resprayed my front bumper and hood of my BMW quoted roughly $4.5k for the entire car. Of course the TT is larger but I wouldn't expect it to be twice as much. Maybe $6k if you can find a deal?

If you go with some boutique shop, then I can indeed see that it would be $10k+

6.5 to paint it the same color or a different one ?

different color will be a whole lot more work

a boutique shop would be 15-20k for a color change, in boston.

Oh yea, good point! The $4.5k quote I received was same color (black). I've always wanted dark blue for my TT but gave up looking for one and ended up with silver. Not my preference but definitely a lot easier than black

Kit looks good, what rear spoiler is that.

I guess I'm the only one not feeling the color, but if you like it......
