I'm a bit further east than the midwest but that would be pretty cool.

Thanks. Material costs were about $1,500 if I remember correctly. I still have a lot of extra material though, probably enough to wrap about another 1/2 of a Fit. For the labor of wrapping, some friends helped me out so I saved there.

They're pretty easy to handle, the new vinyls for vehicle application can be done dry, and you can lift and re-adjust and such without issue. I didn't do the wrap myself though, so this is just what I observed during the process.

Thanks! The vinyl on mine (Hexis) is a bit thicker, but it gives it a bit of depth and looks more like paint. A friend of mine wrapped with a metallic brown by a different brand and it looks like a bad paint job unfortunately. :\

We ordered 33 feet, but my friend's shop had some spare material from a previous wrap. I'd probably say something like 40 ft not including the roof? And I guess another 6-7 ft for the roof?

That's a good amount of material. I was trying to get a ballpark of price. I think I'll pass though.

Depends on what kinda vinyl you buy and how much labor (if a shop does it for you) is... but just on material costs for this particular vinyl, it was about $1,500.

Thanks guys.

Definitely should think about getting it wrapped heymikesays. Do you still have the Noblesse kit on your car?
