Default Price to wrap roof?

Hi guys, I got quoted $380 to wrap the roof of my RC350. Is this a good / normal price? I do not know much about wrapping or how much it costs, which is why I am not going to attempt to do it myself. Also, does anyone know how to remove the shark fin antenna? I would assume it is the same as the IS where the rear dome light has to be removed.

The guy who did my tints, also does wraps. He quoted me at 250 to do the roof. But he said he usually charges 350. So it sounds about right.

I was quoted $275 here in FL and another $50 if i wanted to do the shark fin antenna. He stated he would have to remove the headliner to do the antenna. I have not seen an Atomic Silver RC with the gloss black roof wrap. Would love to see one before I pull the trigger.

Silver and gloss black always goes great together.

I'm thinking about wrapping mine too, but I heard that you have to remove it after 3 years or it will be really difficult to take off without damaging the paint. Is that true?

I was quoted 250 from a local shop that did a full wrap on an RC before. I also got a quote from a different shop for 500! But, I think 300-400 is a fair price.

Directly from the 3M website I read that it's difficult to remove after 3 years, that's one thing that's making me not want to pull the trigger on it.

Would this be isolated only to 3M?

Trying to google to see if using Avery wrap is any better.

Not sure, the guy I got a quote from said he'd be using 3M 1080p.

I got mine done with KPMF and it turned out really well. The guy told me 3M 1080 is equally good but scratches easily during installation....but that doesn't matter if your installer is good. Cost me 300 for the roof. Did the window trims in carbon fiber:

It's not in Cali. It's Philly tint shop.

I live in the DFW area and I was quoted 800 just to wrap my chrome accents on the grill and windows. Not sure how much he would have charged for the roof, but I gave him a peace of my mind when he told me 800. only a few calls later and I was quoted 200 somewhere else.
