Well firstly, every region charges a different price so it's hard to compare.
And secondly, depends on your own financial situation and what your priorities are. I consider $500 a good price and if I could wrap my car for that price I would. But it's probably more like $5000 here so I'm not doing it.

Typically around $2500 to $3500. That's SoCal prices. Wasn't with that so I did it myself. Cost of all the supplies was around $600. Just takes some patients and attention to detail. An extra pair of hands is very helpfull, especially for the hood and the bumpers.

My take on fair is cost of material and labor at 100 per hour without padding time, unless you have a shop with overhead then 125 per hr 25 for the VIG you are from Jersey you know what VIG is.

1.5k is very good if material is included otherwise still very competitive.

Or what you guys can do is do all the easy flat parts yourself and pay to get the damn front bumper done. Shit is so hard.
