West PDX Metro wrap vendors suggestions please

All,

Rain just started and I'm about to log 10k miles on my White FR-S. It is time to pull the trigger on wrapping the front clip at a minimum, and more likely the whole front end which would include fenders and hood.

My specs
1. Remove emblems, wrap and reapply. I want this stuff under my emblems, not cut out around them.
2. All edges wrapped also.
3. Clear film, no color needed. I like the white.

I've called a couple places, have one close to me in Hillsboro by the airport, but would prefer feedback before I make my choice. I've also had Tommy's recommended, but it's on the East side for me and that makes the logistics sticky if the wife has plans.

Lastly, if there is some mobile based folks out there that can do it in my driveway or garage, that works fine too. Actually, it might be preferred if the pricing is okay.

And lastly, what product? I've read 3M yellows, others peel, etc. What is the latest and greatest wrap out there, as I want the best I can buy considering the investment it represents for the vehicle. I've read Xpel is the best, am I on the right track here?

autotopia.com They are based in Wilsonville. Not sure about the emblem removal, but I would think they need to take it off to wrap anyway. I have no personal experience with them, but my wife who sold teslas, highly recommends them. Good luck!

Thanks, I called them when I first got the car and several other vendors. But, being a family guy, it got sidetracked and it appears I dumped my notes in the recycle bin or something.

I did redo my backyard this summer, the sidetrack part, and it turned out pretty good. Now that the weather is changing seasons, I need to refocus back on my vehicles as now the damn garage is no longer just a sweat box in the afternoons.
