I've thought about vinyl wrapping my car but quotes I've seen are well over $1000 to $2000...

Cheers

No. Just more than I was willing to pay to have it done after inquiring.

Are you calling me cheap? :P

Personally I don't understand the whole wraps thing considering the cost associated with it. Obviously if Red Bull or some company is going to be paying me and supplying the wrap, I would consider it.

Otherwise, I would rather take that money and put it to other mods especially if your car is bone stock. Wraps just seems like one of the last things towards the end of your mods list to do.

It sort of like cars that have unpainted ground effects with stock wheels and suspension.

Just my $.02

There is a shop in Chicago that I use for a clear bra. For my 996, they charged me $500 for the half hood, front bumper and mirrors.

Now I have a 996TT, and am having them do the full hood, front fenders, front and rear bumper and mirrors, and it's $700. I never understood the concept of a full vinyl wrap, but they told me that they do plenty of them on Lambos and Bentleys. The cost of a full wrap was in the $3,000 range, if I remember correctly. At least it saves the cost of waxing and buffing the car out regularly.
