Anybody wrap their hood? If so can you post a picture and what the cost is.

Well...


Just call up a shop, many that do tint and especially clear-armor do wraps as well.

Just buy a 1LE like I did. They come from the factory with the hood wrap. ;-)

Yup, the 1LE hood is not paint, just a factory vinyl wrap.

I paid $175 for a local shop to do the hood. The front bumper section was maybe $50 extra. I priced buying materials myself and between the vinyl and the primer it was around $60-70. Since I had never done it before, I figured it was best to pay the very reasonable cost to have it done.

Great price… Excellent look....Anybody who puts on wrap will charge you a Tonna money because they'll claim it takes great skill, it takes some, however it's not that hard. A better way is to go to fint a tint shop that does windows, and ask them to do it if you bring the materials in, I've seen it done for $75-100 that way… And metrorestyling.com has got any 3M 1080 print you want to put on.

Be aware that a vinyl is going to be a little bit more work to take care of, Dont get a MATTE vinyl, get satin.

Fair shop will do it for 150-200.

Doing a wrap isn't hard, it just requires patience. You could easily do it yourself. Plenty of tutorials on youtube for it.

I'm going to handle doing the wrap for my roof-line soon. Figure I can do it for about 75-100 (cost of material) and a good hour or two of patient work.

Wash it, clay bar it, rinse, dry and wrap it.

You can definitely wrap your own hood if you wanted. It's the easiest body piece to do but $200-300 is fair for a hood wrap.
