Anybody got an idea how much it would cost to get a complete vinyl wrap on our car?

It comes down to quality, some high quality stuff will cost you as much as a decent paintjob like ive seen a 3m di-noc cf pattern wrapped car they said it cost 1k+ or w/e . but i imagine you could get a wrap for 5-600 bux though i havent priced it out.

Vinyl will protect the paint underneath, but will obviously add weight to your car. Believe it or not, the matte is more difficult to care for than gloss. If you scratch gloss vinyl or leave swirls from cleaning, you can actually add some heat from a blow torch or heat gun and most of these scratches will come out. If you heat up matte vinyl for an extended period of time, the color will start to turn glossy believe it or not.

EDIT: forgot to answer your question

$600 if you handle it yourself
$1500-2,500+ with professional installation
