The Subaru Forester is known for its versatility, rugged design, and outdoor-ready capabilities. Built on the same platform as the Impreza, this compact crossover SUV has gained popularity among drivers who love both city driving and off-road adventures. While its performance is undeniably reliable, many Forester owners are now looking for creative ways to make their vehicle stand out.
Vinyl wrapping Forester is the perfect solution. Whether you're aiming to turn heads on the road or protect your factory paint on the trails, wrapping your Subaru Forester is a cost-effective and stylish upgrade. With hundreds of colors, textures, and finishes to choose from, you can completely transform the look of your Forester while enhancing its durability and long-term value.
Why Wrap Your Subaru Forester?
Wrapping your Subaru Forester goes beyond just enhancing its appearance; it also provides protection and long-term value to your adventure-ready SUV.
Style & Personalization
Yeswrap allows you to choose from a wide range of finishes and colors that simply aren’t available with factory paint. Whether you want a clean gloss white, rugged matte green, aggressive carbon fiber, or an eye-catching chameleon wrap, you can create a look that truly stands out.
Paint Protection
Driving through harsh weather, gravel roads, and tree-lined trails exposes your Forester to chips, UV rays, sap, and scratches. A Forester wrap acts as a protective shield that absorbs minor impacts and prevents sun damage, keeping your original paint in pristine condition underneath.
Resale Value
Unlike repainting, car wraps are fully removable without damaging your vehicle’s finish. When it’s time to sell or trade in, simply remove the wrap to reveal your factory paint. A well-preserved finish and ready to impress potential buyers.
Cost-Effective
Repainting a car can be expensive and permanent. But Subaru Forester vinyl wrap is a reversible, budget-friendly solution with the same visual impact. You can update your Forester’s appearance whenever you like without the high cost or commitment of a new paint job.
Adventure-Ready Aesthetics
Subaru Foresters are made for adventure, and a Forester camo wrap can match that spirit. Matte finishes, camo patterns, or carbon fiber accents perfectly complement the Forester’s rugged design and outdoor lifestyle.
How Much Vinyl Is Needed to Wrap a Subaru Forester?
To fully wrap a Subaru Forester, you will typically need about 60 feet of 5-foot wide vinyl. This amount covers all exterior panels, including the hood, doors, roof, fenders, bumpers, pillars, and rear hatch.
Wrap Area |
Estimated Vinyl Needed |
Full Vehicle Wrap |
60 ft (5ft wide roll) |
Hood Only |
5–6 ft |
Roof Only |
5–7 ft |
Front & Rear Bumpers |
8–10 ft |
Side Mirrors & Trims |
3–4 ft |
Partial Wrap (sides only or accent) |
15–25 ft |
If you plan to wrap by yourself, you can purchase vinyl at an extra 5–10% of your estimate to account for trimming, mistakes, or complex curves.
Subaru Forester Wrap Cost
The total cost of wrapping your Subaru Forester depends on the wrap type, materials, and whether you choose professional installation or a DIY approach.
A full wrap typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000, offering complete coverage and maximum protection. If you’re only interested in a partial wrap, such as side panels, bumpers, or door accents, you can expect to pay around $600 to $2,000, depending on how much of the vehicle is being covered.
For smaller areas like the hood or roof, prices usually fall between $300 and $500. If you're going for a custom design wrap that includes branding, special graphics, or printed artwork, the cost ranges from $4,000 to $6,500, as it involves more detailed work and printing.
If you're confident in your skills and want to take on the project yourself, a DIY vinyl roll kit costs between $550 and $800. This is a more affordable option but requires time, tools, and a dust-free space for proper application.
What Affects the Price?
Several factors influence the total cost of wrapping your Subaru Forester:
-
Finish Type: Gloss, matte, satin, metallic, color-shift, and chrome wraps vary in material cost. High-shine chrome and custom color-shift wraps typically cost more than standard gloss or matte.
-
Professional Installation vs DIY: Hiring a pro ensures precision, durability, and a bubble-free finish, but comes at a higher price. If you’re experienced and equipped, DIY kits are more budget-friendly but require time, patience, and skill.
-
Design Complexity: A standard color wrap is more affordable than a custom-printed wrap featuring unique graphics, patterns, or business branding. Full custom designs require both design labor and additional printing costs.
