I'd like to know the wholesale cost of materials because I agree, this seems way too high. I know someone who wrapped their M3 a couple of years ago and it only cost $3,500.

Don't undervalue the protection Xpel offers... I have had a bunch of crap hit my front bumper or hood which would have caused a serious gouge or chip only to have nothing done to the paint. If you were to sell the car down the road, any buyer would love knowing that the OEM paint was completely pristine. Also, you don't have to wax or polish for the life of the wrap...that is a nice time saver as well. But it also boils down to how long you keep it. |

Would love to meet up one day and see the wrap, I have had a couple frozen cars, but might do a wrap instead next time.
I work off of oak knoll and 183 a few times a week, seems like I am pretty close to you. |

What about wrapping the spoiler in dry carbon to match the finish? It's almost an eye sore to have the gloss finish. But I really like the color of the car. Good job man.

For all those responding that you can do en entire paint job for $6,500. Keep in mind that the original paint is much more valuable than a car that was resprayed. So after you spend $6500 on a respray, when you try to sell it you will get less money for it because it was resprayed.
This wrap protects the paint from basically everything except an accident, or big debris objects, while keeping the original paint value. Is it worth it? That's an individual choice. But for me if its a car you intend to keep for a very long time, it will be worth it when it's time to sell it.

It really does look amazing. I think you need more gloss CF accents to really set it off. Roof, mirrors, diffuser or wait and see what IND comes up with. The gloss against the matte is really needed to finish the overall look.
