If getting a wrap, go to a sign shop specializing in vehicle wraps...talk to the owner, look at a portfolio, see what else is in the shop being wrapped. its a big job and to do it right requires trim and door handle removal, lights and markers removal, ect...

If spending that kind of money regardless of car value, dont cut corners in either your approach, research, and visiting more than one shop.

Here are some questions to ask:

what kind of vinyl are you using? (3M and other premium 5+ outdoor durable vinyls are good)

who will be installing it? (meet them..talk to them)

How long will it take?

What are your payment procedures?

Will it be done inside? (dust sucks)

Do you remove headlights and tail lights, ect?

do you seal edges?

Can I see other examples of your work?

Can I call a customer to see what their experience was like?

If you get a yes to all of these, or feel comfortable with the responses, then you are at a good shop...but always drive away, go get a coffee, and come back after the excitement has gone away a little before you commit.

I have done partial wraps with a reputable sign shop and believe me, you need training, experience and management....
