Congratulations on buying your Mustang! Vinyl wraps can radically transform the look of your car, but there are pros and cons to consider here. And while you technically can do a wrap yourself, we strongly recommend having professionals do this for you.
Vinyl wraps are a sort of specialized film that can completely transform your car’s aesthetic, either by changing the color or by giving it a unique pattern or design. You can apply wraps to specific areas, individual panels, or the entire car from bumper to bumper, and the options for colors, patterns, and designs are virtually limitless.
It’s difficult to say which are the “best” Mustang wraps since everyone’s tastes are unique to them. The 3M company is pretty well established as the go-to for vinyl wraps though, and a favorite among professional vinyl wrap installers.
Having a professional wrap your entire Mustang will be costly—probably between $2,000 and $4,000. It’s definitely cheaper to do this yourself, but we don’t recommend it. And this is where we dip into the “cons” segment of our Mustang-wrapping tour.
Vinyl wraps are difficult to do. They’re finicky and easy to mess up. You need a clean indoor workspace, at least one person helping you, and a saint-like level of patience. And if you do mess up the wrap, it doesn’t just look bad. Moisture can get trapped under the vinyl, resulting in rust and causing damage to the car’s actual paint job.
Finding a skilled shop in your area that can professionally install your wrap can be a challenge, too. But ask friends, look at reviews, and shop around for the best rates. Sort of like what you do when you’re shopping for car insurance
