Default want to get my hood wrapped - where?

I want to get my hood wrapped in CF. Got a quote here in Pleasanton for $375 but looking to get a better price.

Are there any local places that anyone can recommend?

Talked to Walee over at Faxon. I'm going there this Saturday for the wrap. His web site has a lot of reviews - some say he's great and others say he stinks so we'll see.

He certainly has the lowest price by far.

$230

Just to compare the local shop here in Pleasanton quoted $375, another guy on the forum quoted $295 so Faxon was by far the best.

They did the car Sat, Johnson was the guy who did the work and it came out great. All one sheet of Carbon Fiber, good quality stuff too, and they had it done in about 1 1 /2 hours.

there is a coffee shop right across the street with WiFi access so I just hung out there.

The people at Faxon were great, I'd recommend them to anyone although on Yelp they have mixed reviews. Some people love them and some hate them.

Next I'm going to find a used N1 wing and have them wrap that too.

Why pay for solid CF if I can get the same effect with a wrap? I know it's not the same as the real deal but I saved a ton of money this way.

As long as you deal with Walley, Johnson, or Wyman, you are good man. Dealing with the guys over at MachIII is a pain in the butthole.
