Default Cost to wrap a black top GS350f

Hi,

I just ordered a white gs350f and wanted to wrap a black top. Does anyone know the current average rate for one? I was quoted at $350 in NYC area and some members said they got it for $200-$250.

Thanks

I'd probably say around $200-250 sounds right. You could always try it yourself with a good easy to work with film. This is a really good video that goes over it, I want to try out this film myself on my LS430.

They also sell knifeless tape which lets you get a nice edge without a razor.

The material is cheap, I think $40-60 for one wrap. Get enough so when you screw up you do it perfect the second time. There is a YouTube video on fin removal.

I did it first time on my last car almost perfect. I know Avery is a much easier film to work with than 3m. I plan on doing this in the summer along with wrapping all the chrome trim gloss black.
