RC car body skinning advice/assistance

I have an RC Car body I was looking to skin over and the XCR skinning kit looks ideal.

Could anyone advise if this is the best or is there a better option out there?

Also due to it being a single item it was cost prohibitive to get someone to make me a full CF body hence the idea of skinning.

But are there any companies/individuals who offer the service of doing the skinning work?

This is the said item (minus the black plastic roof protector

Skinning an RC car shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility. Depending on the shape, there may be a few difficult bits to do but it should be doable.  You might struggle to find a place to do it for you as small projects are invariably disproportionately expensive on labour costs which means often doing it yourself is the main viable option.
