In Boston, as best as I can tell, there are 3 recommended places. The best one is unfortunately a logistical PITA.
The next two seem to be comparably good. One is near work and I used them for the F80. They did a pretty good job, but I was not thrilled about how they covered the rear wheel arch. Basically they got lazy and instead of custom covering the area s I requested, they added a precut semi-circular piece of film to the back of the rear door and a little strip to the front end of the rear arch. This other place is close to home. They quoted $2900 for a track pkg. These seem to be getting more popular and cover the whole front end plus rocker, leading rear arch, and lower rear bumper. See someone's attempt at describing it below: They also said not to worry about washing or removing trac wrap. They would do it as part of their prep. Pretty happy so far. Only "issue" is that they quoted a full day for the job. Same as the other place I used. They described the work the same as with the F80. Full edge wrap where the panel allows, but otherwise just very close gaps to headlamps, etc. Only crest comes off. Anyway, I'm tempted to just go with these local guys.
