Curious to know, do any of you guys know how much it'll cost to wrap the entire car? Wondering how it'll look and how it'll hold up to rocks. My experience with vinyl layovers on glass and windows is that they ding up and get scratched easily, perhaps for auto they use a better one?
I have no idea but I would guess somewhere around 3-4k, pretty much a paintjob. It should hold up pretty well to chips, should be better than the damn infiniti paint which chips daily. Like I said, he uses 2 layers and each one is pretty thick so it should last a couple years. I think his car has been fully wrapped for a little over a year now and it looked perfect. Here's a pic of one he did.

Personally, if I had white, the only flat black I would have is the headlights/grill/rear diffuser. The roof I would do in gloss black. Flat black over gloss black anyday. But gloss black just seems to be a lot better looking on the roof than the flat black.
Nice car though, but the headlights are kind of eh.. wierd? lol

^Yeah, didn't notice that. It's kinda rare to find one without one.
Matte looks ok, but I think i prefer the gloss black.

my vinyl guy is wrapping my whole car pretty soon in matte black vinyl for only 500. and the vinyl itself is gonna cost me 650. its also the air release vinyl so its pretty easy to work with. ill post pics when i get it done. 1150 sounds pretty reasonable to me if your getting it done by a professional though
