Going to a guy that does high end cars like that you know you're gonna pay but you're gonna get what you pay for. Its like going to vince for tint or jeremy to a clear bra. Top notch!
But for $5k id rather have a custom paint job. Vinyl is only gonna last a few years.
I talked to one of my vendors about doing a full wrap on my car already... including custom graphic printing it was muuuuuuuuch cheaper. But I wouldn't expect it to be quite as perfect as this guy. Im thinking about doing my own. I can screw up a whole roll and still be in to it for under $1500. Or im gonna order the exact material I want and see if my vendor will do the install if I pull the parts.

^ cause the paint on the car will look new when you go to sell it and the value can stay a lot more
