Default RC Vinyl work

Hey guys! looking to get some vinyl work done to my RC and wanted one spot to find what people paid.
Looking to have the Chrome bezel of the grille done as well as the roof, both the same gloss black

I just got quoted $1500 for both things which seems outrageously high. they literally doubled my original estimate after seeing the car in person..

I'm pretty sure I've seen people say they got their grille done for $200 and roof for $350-400. does that sounds about right for you guys who have done it?

That seems high to me too. I paid 350 to do my roof and window trims together. I had a choice of 3M 1080, Avery, and many other vinyl choices. I went with Avery carbon fiber for the trims and I forgot which one I chose for the roof in gloss black. Its been over 6 months and both still look fantastic with just normal car wash care. I do use trim/ wheel gel on the window trims and it really pops. Where are you located....I would search around for something cheaper! Heres a link to some pics of the work on my car:

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply! yeah i told them thanks, but no thanks already. I was originally quoted 400 for just the roof which i found to be a tad high, but no terrible, then they came back with that $1500 quote after seeing the car in person.

I'm in the Dallas area and I've don't quite a bit of online research about what a fair price for this should be, i just need to find someone that I trust to do the work.. I'm really wanting to get these wraps done asap, but seems like every shop i talk to is just out to rip me off..

Your car looks great btw! I almost went with white also but decided on the dark grey at the last minute.

$400 for just the roof is ridiculous. A high quality and well known wrap shop in my area charges about $230 for a roof wrap and thats more on the expensive side

That's way too much! You can wrap the whole car for that much... Definitely a good call checking with everyone first.
