If this helps, The product used on my car is a 3M product, which I feel
pretty good about.

I was quoted $1,200 and $1,800 for just the nose. I had the front area
around the grill and front bumpers, top of fenders and the hood and
headlightsA done. I went with the $1,200 cost as that installer was
also recommended by a friend who had theirA Porsche 911 wrapped in an
orange color. It is very hard to see the lines of the applied product.
Things to think about, how much will it costA to fix the paint if it
gets rock chips, and when you think about getting a whole car wrapped,
it is in the $3,000 to $6,000 range, it is not so bad. They have to
custom cut all of the pieces.A
Best regards,
