Hello everyone, i was just wondering how much you all paid for paint protection / clear wrap / clear bra? the lowest I have found is $1,700 with tints as well and that's with taxes included.

$5450 for the whole car. It sounds like you are doing a partial. Go to xpel.com and look at the kit prices for each area. Professionals usually charge that price to install.....they cut out from a template using a plotter.

Add up each part you want protected and that's about what it will cost (ballpark).

Sounds about right. Front, partial fenders, full hood, mirrors, rockers, door edges, and front of rear wheels.

Just go to xpel.com and add it all up.

Speaking from firsthand experience, don't shop price - shop performance and customer service. I spent $1500 on a front wrap and the joker used a plotter to cut the stripes which are not straight. I warned him going into this they needed to be cut to fit but he apparently bumped his head. I wound up paying another shop to pull it and re-do it to my satisfaction, and had to have a fender repainted due to the first knob cutting on the car without my knowledge. Ask around, find out who is the go-to shop in town and start the discussion there. In case you're wondering, I paid $2000 the second time around to have my car re-wrapped the second time. All in, $3500 for a front end bra. SMDH

$2,200 for full front, A-pillars and front portion of the roof, mirrors, headlights, rockers and in front/behind rear wheels with Xpel film. Might not have been the cheapest but the installer did a great job and I felt most comfortable with him doing the stripes.

This varies wildly based on location, and even more wildly based on *how* your installer is approaching your wrap. If they are using all kits, then the price will be lower if they are doing custom coverage, etc. Using all kits is easier, of course, but it generally means you'll have less wrapped edges, larger relief cuts. more relief cuts, etc, etc.

Around here a "properly" done full front end (bumper, lights, hood, fenders) with everything but the bumper being custom, is generally in the 2k range. The coverage I got done (full front, rockers, bottoms of doors, impact area is front of the rear wheel, and real wheel impact) was ~$2600.

I installed myself on Bumper, partial hood, mirros, rocker panels and front of rear fender. 3M ScotchGard Pro, $600 for product. About 11 hours of work. Could do it in about 5 hours now after learning curve.

i'm glad all the prices are pretty similar, i'm paying $1500 w/ them and they're doing the tints for $159 since i'm doing the wrap with them, otherwise the tints are over $200.
