So how bad is the learning curve for wrapping? And what kind of wrap did you use? And do you cut your wrap with a blade or did you use some of the knifeless tape?
I want to try a new look with mine, but I have absolutely no desice to make any permanent chages to the appearance (yet). I was thinking of using some 3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon Fiber to wrap my roof and potentially my hood. The roof seems like it would be fairly easy to wrap, the hood would be a bit more complicated especially with the hood scoop.

If you just want to do the hood and roof, they shouldn't be too difficult. The 3M 1080 series wraps are fairly forgiving with patience and a heat gun (just be careful you don't stretch too much with the heat gun). There's a 30% give to the material and it has air channels so if a pocket of air gets stuck, just patiently tap down on the vinyl with your finger and it will come out. If the vinyl folds on itself, you either have to pull back up and really smooth it out or you're screwed in that case. If you're wrapping an entire hood or roof, knifeless tape won't be necessary, just lay it down well and trim the excess but leave a bit to tuck into the gaps or fold around the edges.
I would suggest picking up a few smaller pieces off of amazon or something and wrapping some smaller parts with varying amounts of curves and holes to find out what works and doesn't. If you want to have a whole car wrapped like that beautiful varichrome 'stang, you'll probably want to have a professional do it cause it will take forever and probably not come out the way you want. Individual parts aren't too bad. I wrapped the interior dash panels of my car with the 3M 1080 carbon fiber as well and it was a good way to learn for doing my stripes and still looks good.
That link is a good video for demonstrating the 3M 1080 series vinyl and the knifeless tape. Nice GT-R too
Let me know if you have anymore questions and I'll do my best to help out. Still new to it but it's interesting to me. Some pics below of the work and sorry for the graininess from my phone...

Some shots from a show yesterday in Linden NJ, near where I grew up. A beautiful but very windy and pollen-filled day (again). Still, a good show and an opportunity to hook up with some cousins who I hadn't seen in a while. It was an open show but mostly vintage, muscle cars, and lots of customs and very little modern muscle. The quality of the rides was outstanding.
