I was quoted $300 for the wrap from Dipping Unlimited in Seattle. Good/bad price? Other places like Accutint (I got my tint here) quoted $550, and others around 400-500 range.

I think $300 is a reasonable price although it's possible that you could find a lower price at some shops as what I experienced. The first price quoted to me by another shop was for $295, so I guess it would be on that price range. But I'm in Los Angeles, I guess there's a big competition of auto shops here. $400-$500 is too expensive for a roof wrap i think, try to shop around but always check for reviews online if they have good reviews and cheaper price, go for it!

Damn, looking back. I got my done (+ spoiler) for $160 (or $180, I forget) from Robros Customs (CL Vendor) back in Dec. Roof wrap is still pristine to this day!

My lip below the grille is wrapped in gloss black and still looks great after 5k miles of daily driving on an interstate currently under construction. Pretty durable.

Do you have a pic of it? I want to see what it looks like as I am thinking of wrapping the lips on two sides. Thanks!

No. An Auto shop that specializes in wraps did my roof wrap.

Wow! I saw that shop online but it's weird that there's not one yelp review of that shop, so I thought twice of going there.

Here's some pictures of what I got done over the weekend: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...c_location=ufi. I went to Wu Wraps in Seattle and he did a great job. Some miscommunication on my part so I ended up having the window trims done too.

Thanks! What color is obsidian? sorry. Also, look at the below pics of a CT 200 F sport, the gloss black vinyl on the side lip bumper I think looks good and so I was thinking of doing the same with the IS.

Very clean job. Is your shark fin wrapped too, or did you by a replacement black cover?
