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. |

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.
