I was told $20 per sq ft/installed when I checked 4-6 weeks ago.

I was saying $300.00 for the roof alone.

Car looks good! Looks like you have a pretty nice car to start with. Can't wait to see the end result!

Is this stuff durable, can you get gloss that can be washed/waxed. I want to two tone my car (upper half black) now that I see this I am thinking maybe wrapping the top instead of painting it. Would you advise this or paint?

Also, 20 bucks a square installed is highway robbery!!! We charge $10.00 a square foot installed. Sometimes a bit lower.

It is durable and you can get gloss. When it is gloss you can wax it if you want. Not the matte though!! Just use alcohol on a microfiber then follow up with quick detailer.

Wrap is nice over paint as if you don't like it you can peel it off. each offers advantages and disadvantages. Your call.

Couple of new pics. Slow going as I have to do this in the evening while juggling family life. Plans is to have it all done by Saturday morning. Window tint guy is coming tomorrow to strip the back window and re-tint the whole car.

Also got the Cobra grille insert fitted today. I think it will look good and be easier to wrap!!

K Cool thanks, I have no experience at all with wraps I have never known anyone who had a wrapped vehicle or anything so I was just kinda wondering.
