He's saving TONS of cash doing it himself in his free time. A professional wrap is going to cost you in the thousands out the door. I think most shops would charge about 2k for a 430.

9-24 Update:
It was an extra long night last night as my superstar team pulled off a victory and hit the deadline right between the eyes. The car is completely wrapped except for the rear bumper and side mirrors. The front end is all back on the car; headlights, fogs, bumper. We worked on a few other trick ideas, but will debut this weekend.
Tonight, start the rear bumper and side mirrors. Now to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

dude its coming along really well. That 2-tone bumper really helps the rims match the car. i think this is easily my favorite thread to follow since joining the CL squad. And i thought detailing my interior and using the 3 step Leather Masters system was hard work.....tah!!

9-25 UPDATE:
- Rear bumper wrapped and finished
- Grill painted, not installed
- Side mirrors painted, not installed
- roof rail, wrapped and installed
- K&N filter dropped in
- Rear taillights and trunk reinstalled
As of right now, vinyl wrapping is done. I will post a sneak picture sometime tonight, but the rest will follow after The Pursuit on Sunday.
Thanks for all the positive comments.. hard work does pays off.
2 ppl I want to thank throughout this vinyl wrapping process, Johnson (UV) and Vincent of Omega Tintwerks. Their experience and expertise were the key to the vinyl wrapping. Keep in mind, we were all new to this process so it has been a learning curve. Like everything, the more you practice, the better you get.
I'm sure we will collect plenty of rolling videos from the caravan this weekend. The car sounds ridiculous, especially with the intake filter helping the engine breathe that V8 power.
Stay tune Folks. Plenty to come.
