I bought a precut kit on eBay for $350 , just got a quote here in San Antonio for $600 for the labor to install. Will send pics when done.

Got mine done at a place called 0-60 in Spring for about 5k but it was definitely not a great job. Lot of swirls and light scratches in the wrap that i assume were made by incorrectly applying the wrap. They are only noticeably in certain sunlight and I did not see them for probably a week after i picked it up.

I know you were/are pissed after spending 5k for a botch job. I noticed a number of shops have lifetime warranty. That's the only way to go.

Please tag me bc I seen some low prices on the old interwebs but I quickly side eye them thinking something not right here. There's shops charging astronomical prices but then eBay, Alibaba, Amazon and other pricing as low as $300. So what gives?!? I need to hear someone testimony who went the more affordable route first before I attempt it myself.

Since you're open to DIY — that's where you'll save the most. The CT's an easy DIY job with our pre-cut kit (just fits, no trimming), and the price is all upfront, none of the quote runaround you're hitting: vinyl color-change or color-infused PPF, $1,199–1,699, 50+ colors → https://twraps.com/products/cybertruck-ppf-color-wrap. The local shop recs in here are solid too if you'd rather hand it off.

Would you consider selling just one piece to see if it’s really DIY friendly. What is the easiest part to install and what is the most difficult piece.
This would give us a chance to try it out and if it works we will buy the full set. Thoughts? Suggestions…

Yes, absolutely. In my experience the easiest pieces to do are the bumper and the hood. The most difficult - the rear quarter panel (due to size).
With that said, a cheaper option is to try the cantrails as we sell these on their own due to the recall:

They are somewhere in the middle in terms of difficulty - easy for stuff like bubbles as they have a small surface area, but more difficult towards edge folding and handling as they are long and flimsy.

If you want we can do bumper + hood though as they come together on one sheet...if so just DM me.

https://ebay.io/m/xSbffy is where I got the PPF from. The installers said it was good quality and here is a message from the PPF seller:

Hi there, thanks for your interest in our Cybertruck Capri Grey Purple wrap kit.
To answer your question directly: none of our precut sections are flush-cut. Every panel piece is manufactured with 15–20mm extended excess film on all four sides for edge wrapping and tucking.
This oversize design follows professional wet-install standards. The extra material lets technicians fold the film behind the body panels, hiding raw film edges completely, which prevents edge lifting, dirt buildup and premature yellowing.
If you prefer flush-cut film without wrapping margin for special installation needs, we can arrange custom cutting upon request.

This is PET vinyl, misleadingly advertised as PPF on eBay and other marketplaces where anything goes unchecked. It doesn't protect, it doesn't self heal and it doesn't last much (both color pigments and material). See for yourself (taken from one of the ultra cheap eBay listings):
https://www.pfccfilm.com/

Then do research on PET film...

Just clarifying so other people who read this don't fall for the same claims. If you just want to put the cheapest thing in the world on your $100k truck, that's one way to do it for sure, but if you want quality.... stay away. You get what you pay for.

You are correct. I still love the color and paid $4k less than any quote I got for vinyl.

It’s a shame that EBay allows the false advertising. It was a risk to buy it, but worth it for me, others maybe not.

 

[Yaz11238]

If you're paying a shop to put it on, does it still need to be pre cut?

No, they don’t care if it’s pre cut or not. I got precut because I was going to do it myself, but I don’t have the patience.
