I'm thinking "decent" might be open for debate here.

or how far back in the day it was.

I really want to clear bra my front bumper asap, and that place was on my list of places to look at but at nearly a grand.... damn. i do want the xpel self healing though.

was that quote on a new car prep or is there a cost for some other type of prep work in there?

 

[TDC]

Car is new. No other work besides the film on the bumper, hood, mirrors. Not a pre-cut kit but instead is custom cut to fit.

Is that quote with rolled edges by any chance?

That is a full hood? and is there any benefit to a custom fit instead of precut?

 

[TDC]

Full hood was quoted.
The installer said the quality of the precut pieces along with placement on the car can leave uncovered areas around features in the bumper; as opposed to a custom fit where they cut the material tight to each feature and roll the material around the edges. Having never purchased pre-cut sheets I have no way of confirming what they said and am taking their word for it.

Hmm ill look into it. Im always a little weary of things cut on the car as my current car had stripes put on by the prior owner and there is a noticible line in the paint where the stripes were.

Anyone know a reputable place that will powder coat brake calipers? Looking to get mine done to match the car.

On Tuesday of this week stopped to get a quote on on protecting the full nose of the car along with the mirrors. Was quoted 1850 which includes the full preparation of the car. The installation will take a total of 2 days. This is a custom cut with all edges having the film bent around not a precut kit. Unsure if its alot or is tis the going rate for this amount of work.

to be honest i havent been quoted anything but what does full nose entail? im assuming front bumper, hood, mirrors, front quarters? that price does seem a little high but it may be just shell shock to me. to see how in line they are you can go tot he xpel website and they have the cost of each piece. I know they arent using precut but itll help you ball park. Also taxes.

Does your car also need other special prep?

Have you guys got a lot of dings on the mirrors? I would be more inclined to have a strip where people tend to rest things near the trunk then the mirrors.
