I live in north eastern kansas, right by the border. There is only one 3M certified install shop from here to St. louis. I called them and about 1 day later, let called me back with a quote.

They can do the bonnet, grille, and mirrors for ~$330.

They want another ~$300 for the Bumper.

I had planned on just the bonnet, grille, and mirrors. Is that a good price? They also said that if I do the clear bra with them, they would tint all the windows for ~$150. If I dont do the bra, its about $180 for the windows.

Waddya think?

Oh, BTW, the said that they need the car for 2 days, and it has a 5 yr warranty.

 

That sounds pretty good to me. My local shop want $950 for everything (not including window tinting). Is your shop using the new third gen 3M vinyl?

 

Yes. The latest, and greatest. They arent doing the bumper, but they said they have a ton of different options that I could choose from.

 

the Xpel bras are like 125-150. labor can take as much as 3hrs for install.

 

The lady that I taked to said that there was some curing process that they did. I dont mind the wait, just trying to justify the price!

 

curing process = heat lamp or if sunny outside... just set it under the sun.

75x3hrs is 225 + 120 for the Xpel = $345 for the bumper.

300 is not a bad deal, imho.

 

I am in Los Angeles, Ca and I paid $230.00 for the 3m material (bonnet,grille,mirrors,bumper) and $190.00 for labor I also had them tint my windows for and extra $150.00...for a grand total of $570.00

 

I was wrong. Our local installer charges $675 not $950. Sorry.

 

I got the bumper, bonnet grill mirrors lights door edges and handle cups, area area on top of the rear bumper where the boot opens and all the lights including fog lights done for $455.
