A complete car wrap can easily run a couple thousand dollars, so $350 for the frunk lid doesn't seem completely unreasonable.

If you think about it, there are 10 major panels on a Boxster: two front fenders, two rear fenders, two doors, frunk lid, rear lid, and then front and rear valence (between the fenders). I know that they're not all exactly the same but a lot of body shops think of them this way. $350 per panel x 10 panels = $3,500 which is in the ball park for a good wrap job.

As Burg mentioned, its worth the money to pay a bit more to find an installer who knows what he's doing and will stand behind the work once its done rather than just go for the lowest price.

What color is your car and what color wrap are you considering for the frunk?
