Usage of "lol" should be limited to once per post. Hell, even that is pushing it...

Anywho, your car looks amazing. I would most definitely not tint the headlights. The car looks bright and rather striking as it is. Well done.

That sounds very reasonable and the end result is awesome. Very cool to have a unique color and one that won't fall apart like the chitty factory paint.
Do you think that price would be somewhat standard in bigger cities? Also are there plenty of color choices (I was thinking of a midnight purple)? How long was the process from start to finish and did all the trim pieces have to be removed. And the name of the place that did your job since it came out immaculate. Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty damn excited about the possibilities for my chipped out 09.

Yeah the price should be about the same for bigger cities, yes there is alot of other colors i wanted to do a burgundy wine color but from the sample it look to dark but there is alot of colors. The process was about a day in half i gave them my car wednesday evening they detailed that night then they wrap all of thursday and then i got it back friday. i'm not sure if he took trim pieces off the car but i know he took of my mirrors my front grill the back chrome thing on the trunk. The name of the place is (prism wraps) no problem on the questions yeah thats another reason why i wanted to do it the rock chips that were on my bumper and hood and the good thing about it now so easy to clean

You can wash and wax all the time
Automotive vinyl will last anywhere from 3-7 years when exposed to the elements (i.e. non-garaged), depending on the type.

Some are also designed so it can still be easily removed after 3-5 years of the same kind of exposure. Other brands will require a release, while others clean-up after the vinyl is removed (due to residue).

Overall, your paint should remain intact that entire time, so it's like putting the existing paint condition in suspended animation.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but every shop i've been to wanted upwards of $3k for the whole car.

I recently started to research this ... this isnt THAT hard, specially if you have an idea of what your doing. materials and all you can spend like 200~$ and do it yourself if you have the time. Im thinking about doing it with my dad, slowly.
