A good local shop quoted me $300.

I ultimately did it myself for about $50 in 3m wrap material. I did need to restart the top once because I ruined it but I factored in a complete redo mistake to begin.

Here are photos of different samples in different light and locations when I was trying to decide what to go with:

I went the $50 route and did it myself. My thought was to black wrap the halo and if I liked it I would paint it later. I liked it so much now two years later its still wrapped.

Nice. I went with gloss black too, should be here by the end of next week.

I’ve watch a bunch of videos on how to apply vinyl but do y’all have and tips or tricks for doin the halo and top?

Its been a couple years since I did it. Unfortunately I don’t remember that one. I think they were all 3m brands. If I can find it, I’ll post it up.
