the guy we normally use at work is on vacation for the next 3 weeks. so i went to houston wraps. the woman showed up 20mins late to open. then when i went inside to ask her about wrapping my halo and roof she was rude as hell. she just said $600. i was like wtf its a corvette tiny roof you wanna take a look at it and give me a quote. she just said no its gonna cost like $400-$600. i said for just plain gloss black. yep. i said ok you lazy b ill just go get it painted then. i went to several other shops but they were all closed saturdays. painter at work said he would paint roof and halo for $250. WHAT PRICES HAVE YOU GUYS PAID TO GET YOUR ROOFS AND HALOS WRAPPED?

I talked to a chevy dealership body shop that recently repaired another car of mine and he said he'd paint the halo for $100 if I brought it in... I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do this. Paint or wrap.

Jeez...I did the wrap of my halo and tinted all my side markers and tail lights for $135.00. That price is absurd. I'll say this...I watched the halo be wrapped. That is a bit tricky. Looks good though and if I decide to change it I can. If it gets damaged I can easily get it done again!


Just a note the material itself cost nothing but, the talent to do it does. So, while I would not go cheap...get someone experienced...bit, I think that price is a little high. Besides..if she wants to be a b---- I would not give them the business if it were free.

did they have to remove the halo?

Bonefishmak

No...which made it a bit hard but, doable

Can anyone enlighten me on what wrapping is? Is it covering the Halo in vinyl or similar product. Sorry fo being dense on this subject

wolfpack06

^yup, wrapping is just that... wrapping, usually in vinyl. There's also DINOC (or however you spell that) for carbor fiber look

Did they step all over your seats installing?

Bonefishmak

That's exactly what it is. Only dumb question is the one not asked.

Bonefishmak

Nope...took the roof out...opened the doors and he laid it all the way across. I helped a little...then he took care of the rest with a heat gun then cut it.

yeah thats insane $600 she was just super rude and lazy. the painter at work said $250 for all materials and labor to paint and buff/color sand roof and halo. i was thinking no more than $150 175 to wrap halo and roof.

Never entrust a Corvette -- or anything -- to a person who is rude even before starting a project. Imagine how much she does not care about quality if she is not concerned about customer service before the sale.

Go over to Bullshirts, wifes uncle owns the company and they do wraps. Give them a call and tell em Andrew sent you.

If it were my car I would not be happy with any vinyl on my car. I would just spend the money and have it done right and painted.

I think its like 300 bucks for a Carbon Fiber halo from SIC motorsports?

Bonefishmak

If anyone has a black one for sale cheap I might be interested. The wrap looks fine though.

0Andrew6@TheDoubleAA

0Andrew6@TheDoubleAA

Hey smurf, if you have the Di-noc I'll help you do it Thursday or Friday?

I had the halo and top painted for about $400. Personally I like the paint option better, i just dont know how the wrap will hold up to the sun. I heard both are fine though.
