Price Quote for Minor Vinyl Wrapping

BC416 · 05-22-2015, 09:57 AM

So I'm looking into getting my fangs and rear valance above the exhaust tips wrapped in black vinyl. A local place I emailed told me to come by their shop to get it looked at. I'm pretty good at figuring out what things would probably cost for mechanical work but when it comes to body/exterior I have no clue. Anyone have this done and could tell me what it cost? I just want to have a ballpark price in my head when I go there so I know if I'm getting ripped off or not.

Thanks!

I think this might be something that most of us can do ourselves

as long as you have good quality vinyl and a heat gun

Not sure about cost but my roof wrap cost me $150

So I'm assuming somewhere around $80 for both?

Thanks Fairlady. I'm pretty incompetent when it comes to stuff like this so I'll leave it up to professionals.

^I completely agree with your logic lol

I myself tried to wrap the rood but failed miserably and wasted $100 on vinyl...

vinyl wrap does take some level of practice to install properly. but it's not terribly hard to do.

bats sells pre-cut ones if you want to try that route too.

Thanks Ken

I've seen BlueBats stuff - very nice.

I'd probably end up going through enough vinyl to just pay someone else to do it in the end.
