I like the idea of a wrap and I like the matte colors, looks like you have plenty of advice on how to appease the masses. Props for being unique... but I like the simpleness of the orange one, sometimes less = more.

What does a wrap genrally cost?

Thanks on the Orange lexus comment

At first I was thinking about doing my handles and mirrors in orange but it would have looked like a huge blob of orange. The black handles and mirrors along with the black lexus logos and grill really made the accents stand out. The wrap is now off as I am getting ready to wrap it another color which is still a secret but you'll eventually see it if you follow my build thread.

A wrap will generally run about $1400-$1600 depending on the quality of material and the work that the shop is doing. I usually charge about $1400 when I do full wraps which includes material and my labor time but then again I am not a shop so I need the car for about a week. Let me know if you have any questions and I can help you out. Heck if you have a garage and a lot of free time you can even wrap it yourself!

I'm down to go to AZ for a couple days to wrap your car!

Check out my build thread and ask me any questions you may have in regards to vinyl wrapping!

The matte red looks good. Wrap the chrome trim in gloss black to match the roof and your 100%

I was actually thinking of doing that as I do have a full roll of carbon fiber vinyl just sitting at home but at the end of the day the car is just going to look like a satin black from far away unless you are actually looking at it up close.
