The wife and I are planning on going to the local vinyl shop Friday to look into wrapping the car. We originally wanted a grabber blue car, but we got a deal on this one so this is where we landed. I absolutely despise maintaining this black paint.
I got a ballpark quote last year for $2400 for a full wrap (minus the roof) I'm prepared to pay that, give or take, and the wife is on board.
But...the cheapskate side of me knows that for around $500, I can buy the full pro-kit from Dip Your Car. I'm pretty sure I have the ability to do this myself and it's the kind of thing I'd halfway enjoy doing. I LOVE how DYC's Mustang turned out when they dipped it blue a few months back:

I'm concerned about the dip's rubber texture though. I know their glossifier and the top coat should alleviate a lot of that, but haven't seen it in person.
Is the vinyl going to be $2000 better quality? The $$ savings would make it easier to get new wheels, since I don't think the bronze will work with a blue car.
