Default Anyone Stealth Wrap a Blue NX?

Just purchased Ultrasonic Blue NX450h+ F-Sport. Planning to get it wrapped. Seriously considering wrapping the whole car and doing it in Stealth Xpel (matte finish clear wrap). I know its a long shot, but wondering if anyone has wrapped their blue car in this. I searched the forum and couldn't find any pics. TIA

I've wrapped a few vehicles in my day and would do it again. I hate having the same color vehicle as everyone else. I wrapped my last Subaru in Yellow. It was awesome looking. Unfortunately I've never applied a protective wrap and I've never used Stealth Xpel. But I definitely want to see pictures of it if or when you do it.

Okay, I got 2 quotes for the PPF from my local installer. Boy was I shocked:
The FULL vehicle wrapped with XPEL - Ultimate Plus paint protection film: $6,296.40
The Full Front wrapped with XPEL - Ultimate Plus paint protection film: $2,194.59

Although I would love to wrap the whole vehicle, I'm considering the Full Front but ONLY because of the price. So based on where you're at, you can see what the price is to wrap my 23 NX450H+ Base. Hope that helps.

We just looked in to this. The quote was $1800 for the front and I don't know what the product brand was. It just so happened that the car was in the body shop after a mishap and I asked what it cost to have a hood repainted and it's currently $750. So we could have the hood repainted twice and still be money ahead over getting the PPF.

Interesting, THANKS for that information. That's up north there I take it. Not sure what these yahoo's in Florida would charge. That makes the decision hard to make now. Pay $2,200 now or I could have the hood painted 3 times for that same money later.

My quote for wrapping the full vehicle in XPEL Stealth was ~5000. That includes headlights and fog lights. I'm a big fan of doing the whole front of the car. I'm planning the stealth wrap just for something different. Plus, my wife uses my car a fair amount because its cheaper to drive to/from the barn than her 2500 diesel truck. But she's hard on vehicles because she puts lots of crap in/out of it, parks near idiots and isn't always super careful about the car. And if I drive it, there are always idiots who open doors into the car, or whatever.
