Has anybody here contemplated doing a full wrap on their cars here? Previously, I would just do the full frontal area to prevent chips and the like but having gone with black and being really OCD about imperfections, I started thinking about doing the entire car. Going with Obsidian Black has definitely helped but keeping the car swirl free is a real pain. Thoughts?

Don't get me wrong - I love the look of the car with black but I'm beginning to think maybe this color choice wasn't so good for someone like me.

i have an 040 black and did a full wrap at delivery. The color is slightly muted when close up, but looks good from a distance. It has already saved me a repair of a door scratch and a bumper scrape. The covering is segmented and easy to remove and replace. The brand I had installed repairs itself; any fine scratches are fixed by parking in the sun or using hot water.

What was the cost of the full wrap?

$5,000

Thank you. Here in the Dallas market, an installer was charging me around $5000 for just front and back.

A full wrap seems extreme, but to each his own. i did a front bra (xpel)on my black 040 E and have been happy. Guy who did mine says he does a lot of front bras that incl the entire hood? Good luck

Steve, thanks for the info. I actually used XPEL Ultimate for the entire front of my car. So about $5K for the entire vehicle? I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this.

Question about the wrap on your bumpers - how far to the bottom does the wrap go?

Airmousam, yeah it is extreme but then again, I'm already noticing swirls and I really don't want to have to worry about them.

The wrap is full coverage, edge to edge.
