It was around $150..the labor involved in it is quite tedious. Took the guy around 5 hours to do.

It makes the car look so much better IMO. $150 isn't a bad price at all considering the materials, skill, and for the amount of tiny detail involved in doing a good job.

Wow, I agree with BB, $150 is a great price! I'm going to try and find someone around here to do it as well. She looks great!

Go with a gloss black vinyl, thats what I did. I had to choose between matte black or gloss black. The glossy look the window tints give off will complement the glossy black vinyl on the chrome trim as well...

Looks great! This is on my list as well. Did you get the chrome on the grill wrapped also?

I think it all depends on the wheels, I prefer it with mine. Although I did a test with electrical tape and I wasn't as happy with the results
