We haven't rolled out the full pricing yet but my understanding is that to have it done right - ie, door jambs, door handles and other "detail" parts properly wrapped, you could be looking at $4000 give or take. When you consider that on a whim you can pull the wrap off and return the car to stock for free, it's really not bad. A custom flat white paint job along with a carbon fiber hood and roof (although a true custom CF roof is darn near impossible!) would easily surpass $4000 and could easily cost several times that for a good paint job. Plus, if you wanted to change it again in a month, or 5 years, you'd have to fork over thousands again to "undo" it.

Our CEO has a black 2009 BMW M3 Coupe with a Vorsteiner custom front end, Vorsteiner wheels, and a carbon fiber Wraptivo roof. The car is gorgeous (and a freakin' blast to drive, I might add!!) but since it has a sunroof it did not come with the true CF roof from the factory. People who understand this will ask the owner who he knows at BMW that he could get the CF roof with the glass sunroof!!! When he tells them it's a vinyl wrap they're usually stunned - it looks and feels that authentic. My boss did the hood and roof of his Jeep SRT8 in CF as well.
