What should I know about sports car wraps?

I have a fairly new sports car, and I’m thinking of getting it wrapped. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about the process. What should I know about sports car wraps before I make a decision?

It sounds like you’re a responsible car owner! I appreciate that you want to do a little research before you make such a big decision. Here’s everything you need to know about sports car wraps:
First off, wrapping a car can be pricey; if you go to a body shop, you’re likely to pay $2,000+. That being said, you’d pay about the same amount for a professional paint job, and wraps are more versatile.
Next, vinyl wraps require a lot of maintenance. Experts recommend hand-washing them at least once a week to keep them looking new. But, as long as you take care of it properly, your wrap can last for up to seven years
It’s worth noting, as well, that if you live in an area that gets harsh
winter weather
, ice and road salt can be tough on vinyl wraps.
Now for the fun stuff: wraps come in a ton of different colors, patterns, and finishes. You can get a wrap that looks like it’s changing colors or one that looks like chrome. You can even create a personal design digitally—and the wrap will protect your car’s paint job to boot.
Wraps definitely aren’t for everyone, but they are a fun way to customize your sports car and keep it protected!
