Default Top wrap $

Can someone tell me a ballpark figure to wrap the top on an HTC?

Wrapped mine for about $400. Pricing isn't standardized across the country. It's significantly influenced by region and backlog of the shop you go to. I think the high quote I received was over $1000. Shop around a bit.

I paid $800.00 and they did the side skirts as well. I asked them to stop at the break as I think it looks cleaner.

This looks good! Did you go with a Gloss black wrap? I take it your removable top is silver too? I was opting for the transparent top, but don't know if it will look good with the wrap all around it.

I have both the transparent and silver tops. I wrapped the silver. The transparent top doesn't look great against the gloss black, they're noticeably different colors.

Do a search for "wrap" and you'll find a bunch of threads on the subject....

Here is one that I book marked that has alot of photos with the wrap stopping by the camera or some going all the way down. It really boils down to each person's taste as they all look good in my opinion.

Thanks, Mike. I kind of figured it would look off a little bit. This help me steer away from getting the transparent top now. I will just stick with the regular top and have it wrapped.

This really helps! I appreciate it. I like the wrap going all the way down personally. I think it gives it more of an exotic look.

I like the wrap going all the way down also. I don't have a C8, but on my C6, I had the white top wrapped black and the halo. When I put on my transparent top the black wrap is close to the same as the black of the transparent top so it looks great on both.

I'm sure you could find a "shade" of black that would match both. Best of luck to you.

Just got mine done Monday. $195 but I have the transparent roof. It would have been $400 to wrap the roof also. I love the new look. This is SW Virginia pricing which seemed very fair.
Good luck!
