If you are doing it yourself, I am in Indiana. Maybe we can set something up and try to do both of ours in a couple days. Let me know if you're interested...

Thinking of doing the wife's car as the paint has quite a few scratches and the clear coat having been polished a couple times already.

Main question being which vinyl to get...Hexis, 3M, generic Asian, etc...

The ones who have done it, what did you use?

Doesn't matter what he charges , he's a real shop will fix the car if something is wrong and has experienced, props for doing your own car , but u posted pix from 10 feet away with the sun glaring in the camera, you can tell the quality of the job , but I've seen self done wraps ppl , and to say the least If I do have it done it will be by a professional , same it's guys who think they can tint windows cuz they bought a kit from autozone

Uhhh, the only reason I asked how much is because I was interested in possibly having his shop do it. I have not wrapped my car and have not posted with said sun shining in camera. Maybe somebody else?

I know these types but also know people with natural talent that can tint like a pro on the first try. Obviously not everyone falls into this category so it's going to be different for everyone and their abilities. Nice Ford GT BTW.
