    If you're willing to make the drive to Cerritos... make a visit to one of the shops that worked on my cars.

    Advance Auto Engineering. Ask for Scott, the owner.

    I can't throw you a price since I may be inaccurate.
    As you probably already know, each car will cost differently.
    His pricing is reasonable, and his work is amazing.
    He's worked on my previous Benz and my AMG a couple months ago.

    "IF" you do go, just do me a favor and say that Noel referred you over... "The guy with the AMG that you worked on at the Laguna Niguel body shop."

    Front bumper, full hood, fenders, headlights, mirrors, typically runs around $1500 depending on the car from what I have seen. I am sure this can vary by installer and area.

    Keep in mind these are what we typically see across the country and it can vary with these factors:
    - Where you live
    - Demand for paint protection film
    - Size of your vehicle

    For a partial front end: This includes 18-24” up the hood and fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. This ranges from $895 - $1,195.

    For full front coverage: This includes the entire hood and front fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. This ranges from $1,895 - $2,195.

    For full car coverage: This includes every painted surface on the car possible. This ranges from $4,500 - $8,000.


    When you do find an installer:

    - Be sure to ask for wrapped edges where possible (meaning that the film will wrap over the edge of the panel)
    - Visit their shop and look at some of their installations they've completed, as certain installers may do things differently
    - Exam the installation to see if the visible seams are close the edge of the body panel
    - You can ask them if they've wrapped your vehicle before, some installers may have wrapped a few, some may have wrapped a hundred...it's best to find an installer you feel comfortable leaving your pride and joy with.

    V8Star's estimate is probably on point. (Especially because he's talking about the "entire front bumper, full hood, full fenders, etc.")

    However, I just remembered that there's a shop out in the L.A. area somewhere that quoted me $2,000 to wrap my previous entire car in any color vinyl I wanted. Original price was $2,400.

    The "reason" behind the discount... it took the receptionist (lady who gave pricing) 4 days to return my call after I've submitted an inquiry online on their website.

    Unfortunately, I didn't go through with it cause I ended up selling the car.
