Does anyone know how much it would be to vinyl wrap my x?

 

depends on who you take it to. could be around 1.5-2grand for a lower end job while 3-4grand for a higher end shop

 

sounds about right, I got quoted for around 3000 in Vancouver.

 

wow i was thinking it would be max 700

 

$700 would probably cover the vinyl and tool depreciation depending on what kind of vinyl you go with.

You have to appreciate the fact that a proper job takes a very skilled technician and a lot of labor. Try to do one door panel and make it look good, after you pull all of your hair out and your vinyl off, you'll understand.

 

Daaamn that shiets expensive...!

 

It is, that's why I decided to do it myself

 

asked the local detail guy here, its about 7-800 for the kit itself and probably another 50-100 for installation. He said it should last 3-4 years but needs to be replaced as the vinyl will get cloudy, or something like that.
I was looking at getting it myself, but in the end i decided i can take that grand and apply for a new set of tires

 

material is usually whats atleast 1000-1500 because just plain vinyl tends to fade, if you got the vinyl which has actual paint on it will cost you alot but in the long run it lasts longer than your car, you can wash and wax it without worrying about scratching or ripping it

 

well im heading to a shop this weekend thanks for the info

 

i saw a mercedes wrapped in pink vinyl a week ago.....whoever did it did a great job, it looked like it was part of the body panels.

 

And I don't blame you...!

 

Is there a website that sells high quality vinyl, including the painted kind that was mentioned above? It's usually sold by the yard, right? How many yards do you need to do the hood, roof and trunk?

 

there is a 20 page thread on here started by "tokeone".

he wrapped his x with satin black vinyl.

all of the questions you may have are most likely answered in there.
