Thanks guys. A lot of people have asked about price, and I can say it comes in between $2500 and $3500 depending on the car, color, and options.
The original color of the car is black, so door jams weren't an issue in this case.
The wrap is guaranteed for 7 years but it's recommended that it is removed before 5 as it could effect the paint if it's left too long.
You have to make sure you dry the car right away after washing as water spots can occur with hard water. Dried rain water spots come off with Griots speed shine, and no wax required.
You can see more pic's of the details at www.facebook.com/guardline

That's wayyyyy to much, over here for regular color (matte or shiny) the cost for a car like 996TT is 600 $ tops. Hope there is no problem to say this on the forum... or I will delete the post. Carbon is going to be like 2.5-3x. I did my convertible 335i matte grey but hood and mirrors in carbon and also interior trims for 700 $.
Car is already 2 years wrapped and everything ok even is hardtop and has a lot of small engines to convert it, you will see minor problems if paying really good attention, but also those may be fixed quickly and cheap.
As duration car was done within 1 day !!
Cleaning should be done by the install company with some special lubricants
MINUS - not all of the colored surfaces can be wrapped, interior of the hood, interior of engine compartment, are inside the doors (some cases is hard) aso, maybe there is also the price diff.
I had to change also registration certificate as I changed color too.
For 50$/year I even included the wrapping into my insurance, check with your insurance company if interested.
For 2500-3500$ i would go for a repaint, and I forgot they are using vynil from 3M or Oracal, both good. No waxing needed

Materials alone cost more then $600... about $720 to do a whole car here in the states (using 3m or oracAl)
