Body Wrap Shops in/around Seattle Area...

Hey All,

Thinking of getting my Evo wrapped and would like recommendations on good, reputable body wrapping shops in or around Seattle. Eastside and North would be great! Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a ripoff to me! personally I'd never pay that much to have a car wrapped it takes a lot less prep than paint, So why is it so expensive?

labor is part of it, but most of it is just because they can

oh yes, most definitely. i'm moving into a new place in july and subsequently going on vacation for a week and a half right after i move in so it won't be until late july that i get pictures up

the coverage of the wrap depends if i decide to remove my doors and wrap the door jams or not also

matte white. nothing fancy and i don't want it to stand out like a sore thumb. later i have another color in mind that i may do but for now something that will look semi-stock but the matte white in sunshine looks great

Wicked wraps does all of Defensive Driving Schools cars on the eastside... They may be worth a shot. Dig the matte white idea though. I may copy you

Only thing about car wrap is it doesn't last that long. I've heard you get about 5 years max

So $3,000-$4,000 for such short time sucks
