Ugh, here we go again. Rest assured, it wont just be not perfect, but far from it. Id wager the 2500 quote would end you with "not perfect". Skilled installers know their worth, and theres a billion dollar industry surrounding the training and certifying of installers. If you havent laid a panel in 1080 before, be aware of stretch and adhesive lines, relift lines, and scoring. Also, make sure you have a second set of hands around for every panel. Pull bumpers and headlights and taillights, side rockers and the wing. Clear real good in the crevices as wax and grease buildup is common there. Pull inner door panel to remove mirror and loosen handles. Dont overstretch the tag recessed area or the lip to the lower accent diffuser. Im only giving you these day1 tips because if a person sees your car as their first exposure to wrapped vehicles, it makes it hard for a professional to erase that first encounter from their memory and show them what a good wrap should be. And, that affects their ability to pay their mortgage, child costs, etc.
Good luck! And be sure to order from the same lot the short roll you have was cut from when you need to order more. Wrap on, brother!
