ive been looking at wraps, the quality varies incredibly, its not like you are buying a bumper and just looking for the vendor who has the smallest mark up, the difference in quality between a great wrap job and an average wrap job is huge, and the price reflects that

one place told me there would likely be creases, wrinkles, dust etc, i left shortly after, another job i saw was 99% perfect, is the price the same, of course not

You get what you pay for as rule, around where I live a full front in xpel is 2500 so I figure a full wrap at least 5k. I'm sure some places have cheaper labor.

said it before, i'll say it again. the larger the metro area? the greater the competition for the business, the lower the price. a 5k wrap in boise could be 3k here in LA. same level of workmanship. just make certain it involves the removal of body panels or they are cheaping out on the process, and it'll be shyte.

I had mine done in Manheim Pa one of the largest auto auction areas which equals lots of detailers/film installers etc. The person I went too was the man according to high end dealer friends and car club guys. Who knows and I don't care I pay what it costs and forget about it lol.

6k for a wrap? what the hell. does it come with anything extra? damn, well around Chicago-land it runs around 2k, 2.5k at max. maybe take a trip to another state and wrap it there 6k, maybe for a bus sized car.

btw what do you guys think about Plasti-dip - I thought about doing my wheels flat black to test it. I want pretty much all black theme.
