I'd actually still prefer a wrap over paint because you can remove it, but couldn't you literally shoot satin clear for about 1/4 the price?

Looks unique and interesting either way, just curious about the price relative to paint.

Xpel:

Is every body panel wrapped?

Did you remove headlights; tail lights, etc. prior to the wrap?

TIA,

How much did that cost?
A full XPEL STEALTH wrap can range between $6,000 and $9,000 typically depending on the vehicle and labor rates for that market.

That said though, STEALTH is warrantied for 10 Years and will protect your paint and resale value, all while making it easier to clean.

Great question. On this vehicle, not everything was removed so if you look very closely you may be able to see some panels that weren't 100% wrapped. That said, it's still very difficult to notice unless you're really trying to look for it.

It all comes down to the customer and the installer. If you really want everything wrapped to an extreme, then body panels and lights can be removed. This would result in more labor hours and thus a higher cost.

Local dealer has this wrap on a 17 on the showroom floor... they added $7K for the wrap.
It does look pretty sweet...but the one they have shows a lot of fingerprints on the vinyl.

Thanks for the reply.

To my mind, the only way to place a 'stealth' type film on a car is to wrap the edge of every panel. It needs to look as if the car came with matte paint from the factory imho.

True, that would be a problem trying to keep it clean at all times. Plus the cost of 6k - 9k for a full wrap is insane.

These 'matte' wraps are so easy to keep clean it's ridiculous. No waxing needed; just wash it and dry it. Occasional just wipe it down with a specific detail spray. Dead simple.

Other pics.
Anybody
Here are some pics of my Arctic White Z06 fully wrapped with the XPEL Stealth. I'm very happy with how it turned out and get compliments on it wherever I go - compliments specifically about the satin/matte finish. It looks amazing in person.

You are not the only one. I too prefer a gloss finish on a car. Satin or flat looks too much like a primer coat of paint imho instead of a finish coat. But to each their own!
