    Wraps

    So I've been seeing a lot of build threads where people wrap their cars to achieve a unique color without the time and money commitment of a proper paint job. I've been looking to make a car purchase and can't seem to find the right model/trim with a good color combination without either going outside of my budget or driving 2+ hours. I'm hoping someone could shed some light on wraps -- where to get one (I'm in between Harrisburg, PA and Baltimore, MD), costs, how long they typically last, and required care.

    I got mine in NJ. I have a 2013 X1 x35i and usually they charge more or less about $2500 for similar size. I think they can do $2000 for a sedan. They had my car for 4 days.



    Then I tried doing the small interior parts myself and wrapped the trims. It used to be wood trims.

    I'm a huge fan of wraps. In fact, one of my buddies wrapped his 69 Mustang and it looked amazing! They last for a few years if treated properly (no automated car washes!!!) and give your car a unique look. Plus, the rock chip protection is an added bonus. I was with the stradman the other day and he just rewrapped the front of his lambo for the goldrush rally. After seeing his car up close in person, I'm a huge fan because once you get a few rock chips, simply apply a second piece of wrap and walaaaa.. looks like new!

    This is my only wrapped car. The wrap is starting to bubble a little bit on the corners in the Florida heat. Screen Shot 2017-07-01 at 1.36.39 PM.png
