I have toyed with the idea of wrapping my Turbo so have done a little research. What I found is that there are two quality shops in the Bay Area:
1. Sam's Signs (www.samssigns.com) - they wrap all of the Goldrush Rally cars if you are familiar with that. I think one of the owners is a member here. Check the Norcal forum as I think someone asked this same question over there.
2. Premier (www.premiermobilegroup.com) - they have done clear full-body wraps on Ferraris, Lambos, etc. I think they might be a little pricier but am not sure if that is true or if their quality would be any better.

As someone being in the body shop business for 30 years, I'd like to make a suggestion....
Consider quality of work and not just quality of material. Obviously if a shop does ferraris, lambos and the such, they must (hopefully) are good.
The reason I mention this is we've had a bunch of high dollar comes come into my shop because they were wrapped and when we removed the wrap, there were razor cuts ALL OVER the car from trimming.
When I talked to the owners, they said they went to a sign shop who does them all the time. That's okay (I guess) if it's a work van but I wouldn't want that kind of work on my personal car. (not saying anything about the two suggested above, I'm not even in that state... just a suggestion in general)
Just a suggestion...

Good input, Boostin! I hear ya! Unfortunately the owners would not know of the razor cuts until or unless the wrap is removed, by then it's too late to do anything about and often times, it will be long after the wrap was done.
I started this post early last year and ended up only doing a full wrap of the front in clear and not the whole car due to this fear, but I also was unable to find a shop that can do quality full wrap. Premier is the best in the Bay Area but they were no longer doing full wrap when I spoke to them.
Thanks for the input!

Well don't I have egg on my face... I'm sorry, I never looked at the date of the original post. Someone responded and brought it back from the dead and I blindly jumped on that band wagon...lol.
Glad you got what you wanted though.

I recently got my car wrapped out in so cal by 90210 wrap, really happy with the wrap....apparently the wrap is supposed to protect your paint, which is pretty cool...will update more on it as the wrap starts to settle etc

I’m sure the guys that have had it done recently can give you a better price but it wouldn’t surprise me if you spent at least 4K.
Edit: just took a google look....
GENERAL COSTS SUMMARY (for most cars, vans, trucks)
Wrap design: $250 (partial wrap) -$350 (full wrap), including up to 2 revisions
Partial wraps: typically $1,200 - $2,000 after design is complete
Full wraps: typically $2,200 - $2,700 after design is complete
Color change full wraps: typically $2,800 - $4,000
