The one year subscription is approximately $700 and the two-year is around $1,200.

Each vehicle template is created from “professionally photographed vehicles and expertly sized to factory specs.” With each template you get the top (hood, trunk, roof), passenger and driver’s side, front, and rear. These templates are scaled at 720dpi at 10 percent scale for faster rendering and are designed to be used as a drag and drop design tool. The Bad Wrap requires users to have Photoshop or Flexi 10.5 and they only offer customer support for Photoshop. It’s was hard to find how many template models they carry, but if you dig around, you’ll see they have over 4,000 model years in their inventory with “access to 20,000 models they have not yet templated due to demand.”
