I got an estimate from a local company (http://www.graphikconcepts.com/) to get my roof and halo wrapped in gloss black. The quote was $310, $100 for material and $210 for labor, does this sound like a fair price?

I will have my side mirrors done. The price I got was $200, so it sounds reasonable to me.

$310 not bad at all to have someone else go through the hassle...

thats a good price..

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated. Looks like I'll be getting this done sooner rather than later for that price then.

I wrap stuff on my own cars and I'd say for the amount of time invested that's a good price. I hope they prep everything correctly, some places cut corners. Find out if they will be removing the roof to do it- if yes then you're good

I was going to take the roof and halo off the car and drop them off to be done. That way the car's not tied up.

Damn 200 for mirrors I had a local shop that does graphics quote me 50

I'd be interested to see how the roof and halo look once completed. Does the black vinyl look perfectly flat and smooth without any waves or other imperfections? In other words, does it look as good as black paint?

From what I've seen, yes it looks great. But as with paint, preperation is the key.

I am still shopping around. The shop is really popular and they wrap really expensive cars. Maybe that's what they want me to pay that much.

Seems to be a good price a member did this in San Antonio and paid $400 for the job

How hard is it to remove the halo?

When I was at the DFW auto show I spoke to a rep that told me $9 per square foot on wrapping, I think they said it was a $50 minimum. I plan to get mine done in gloss black soon. For those in north Texas, their website is http://carwrapcity.com/

You guys need to watch the quality of the wrap you are getting as well and not focus solely on the installed price.
Around hear 3M or Avery which seem to be the best brands are 25 bucks - 40 buck a foot.
Poor quality vinyl will be white in about 2 years

My stripes were Avery I think and when I took them off the glue was hard and dry. Stuck to the paint and is a pita to get off. Same happened last time I changed them.

Car is in shop now for some paint and a new look. Can't wait to get it back.

64700 give or take 500 depending on the color. Not bad. The most expensive options for me were the engine appearance and the wing.

What? Why bump a 5 year old thread with nonsense?

Eh I scrolled to the bottom to reply and it ended up in another thread. My bad.
