Hard to say - depends on the resources in your area - I had one of my graphic designers put the theme together. It is supposed to look like yellow paper over cardboard that has been ripped away - then when the cardboard gets pulled back you see the industrial blue diamond plate....so it cost something to do the design....

and then to get printed and installed probably $2400 or so. The installer is the key! It is not easy work and you need someone that knows what they are doing.

First, the wrap looks awesome!! Good job on that.

Second, what kind of grille do you want? Just a stock one painted black or something special? I have a few sources and can turn you on to them if you let me know what you're looking for.

I have some sources for rims too, but check out those Motegis first, sounds like a good deal.

just out of curiosity, is that your own business? I can't see getting paid enough by a company to drive that.

Wow... The wrap looks great.
I'm considering that for my business also (the main point for buying my xb, besides better gas mileage). My friend owns a sign shop so all I have to pay for is the materials. Haven't quite decided on the design yet though. Might just wrap the back and give the sides more of a tuner car look.
Yours came out nice though...

Thanks.

Make sure whoever you have do it uses the good 3M wrap material. If they use the cheap stuff when it is time to come off I guess it will be a real pain. Plus this stuff is guaranteed not to peel or fade for three years!!

Thanks - I think it turned out well. I dropped it off at 9am and the finished around midnight. Had two guys working on it pretty much the whole time.

The material is not transparent so you can't cover the taillights. I suppose you could use the perforated material that is used on the windows - but it might not let enough light through.

Thx
Jahan
