At the time, it cost me ~$400 in material plus a bunch of my time.

That said, it does spend more time garaged than outside. The wrap has held up well but just started to bubble in a couple of creases on the frunk lid this past summer. I'll be redoing that panel in a couple of weeks - I'll let you know how that goes for removal/replacement.

Most people don't notice that it's not paint until I start pointing out the seams.


Thanks for that information. I have seen prices for the better brands of vinyl and it is a good bit cheaper than paint. I have lots of time and a couple retired buddies that will help.
