On my quote the entire front end including the mirrors was $2000.how much is it to do a subset such as the bumper and front?

That sounds very high. Local detailer in austin quoted $3500 for full wrap with suntek ppf. $450 for F1 ceramic tinit.I don't have the car yet but will next Thursday. I am getting almost a full wrap (excluding hatchback) of Suntek PPF, CQuartz Finest on the whole car including wheels and brake calipers, and Photosync Spectra Window Tint (35%) for just under $6000. If you live around San Antonio, check out Jay's Detail (jaysdetail.com).
I put Opti-Coat Pro Plus Ceramic then sealed it with SunTek paint protection film on the whole car. I selected SunTek over XPEL for 2 reasons the price almost 1.5k less to have it installed in Houston, and the Gloss of the SunTek compared to XPEL gives a better finish. both have self-healing and I have seen that it is effective. I have seen scratch marks on the car after applying but then after leaving the car in the sun for a day or two there gone.
1. SunTek installs easier
2. SunTek is glossier
3. SunTek warranty is only 5 years.
I also wrapped all the chrome on the exterior of the car with exception of the Telsa T, with 3M black Brush meal.
Give it a nice look all Black.

Note that he also got CQuartz Finest on the entire car including wheels and calipers, that's probably where the price disparity is.That sounds very high. Local detailer in austin quoted $3500 for full wrap with suntek ppf. $450 for F1 ceramic tinit.

I'm conflicted about wrapping. It is only a car, after all...one we plan to keep and not sell.
One option I've been considering...something like Autoflex to change the paint color when I get tired of seeing rock chips, lol. So if I'm considering doing that at some point, a wrap like Xpel seems almost unnecessary...
I'm just being realistic in looking at the current condition of the cars we own...remembering how I felt when they were new, when we got the first signs of road rash and rock chips, and we recently replaced a fog light that got cracked. And how I feel now. Does it bother me? No, not really. Would this sort of damage bother me MORE because we are paying twice as much for the X? Not sure...
4K is a really nice vacation!
New owner of a beautiful Obsidan Black 70D. Color aside, knowing the issues with a black car, I wonder at the decision to wrap our apply protective applicants to car. I've read the various threads on this and even got a quote myself. How many of you are doing this?
I went through the same thought process. Need to schedule as I take delivery Friday. Yippee
I went through the same thing when I got the car, I decided not to. In hindsight, I probably should have had the hood and mirrors wrapped, after a year, i'm just going to live with it.
I have a few rock chips on my hood, and on a blue car, it's pretty visible.

Great looking car! Joe will be doing mine pretty much the same thing to my car this Saturday. I am also getting the wheels powder coated grey.View attachment 191407 View attachment 191408 View attachment 191409 View attachment 191410 I just got my car back from the detailer. The exterior has full Xpel wrap (front bumper, hood, headlights, A pillars, black parts of pano roof, side mirrors, across the bottom of the doors of the wheelbase, and rear bumper), paint correction, Cquartz finest, and 3M Crystalline/Llumar CTX tint.
Joseph Torbati at OCDetailing in Fremont did everything (as well as the CQuartz leather to the interior, installed my quick connection phone dock, took off my front license plate, and will install my Black Vue dash cam shortly). I can PM you for the detailed pricing.

You are correct. I live in Florida where this is a big problem. If you leave a wrap on more then 2 years in the sun it's very hard to remove. I have the front end of my Nsx done which is black and up close you see orange peel. It works great for rock chips but I would remove it after a few years to be safe

Awesome car. Time for a new profile pic!
