A full vehicle wrap can cost as much as a paint job right?

I think its about half the cost...i've wrapped a few things and can definitely see with practice it's not the hardest thing to do while paint on the other hand takes a lot more skill and effort. I think people over charge big time for wrapping. The cost of material isn't bad

Lol I've wrapped my trunk, pillars, and door handles and they all turned out well. When you heat it up it gets really flexible. Just keeping it smooth is the hard part and takes xtra hands and patience. And nah I wouldn't lol, you should keep that exhaust I think the value of it goes up the more rare it gets
