Here's another pro for a wrap...

When you go to sell the car, most people don't want flat black. You can rip it right off and your paint will be the same as the day you wrapped it.

If I bought a brand new car today, its going from the dealership to my wrap shop. Save and preserve the paint to keep the resale value up.

Yes I do do wraps. Design, print, and install

S2000s will run $1500. Thats a crazy S2Ki special. If I charge what I normally charge regular commercial project, the S2000 would be almost $2300.

That price if for a fairly stock s2k. AP1 or AP2 but I know AP2s would take a little bit longer. Bumpers are harder.

Today's wrap project. Still working on it.

Yes, I go as far as removing all the lights, mirrors, and grills. Most others leave them on and cut into your paint around the object!
