I talked to an installer today and got a price for going 14 inches up the hood, full bumper and 14 inches back on the fenders $800. Price for full hood, full fenders and bumper $1200. Any thoughts on which way to go? Installer uses 3M clear bra pro.

XPEL, or better yet get Suntek, Full hood Bumper, Full Fenders, Mirrors, Door edges, and luggage kit minimum I do cars every day Monday to Saturday and we use 3M, XPEL, and my favorite is Suntek better natural look no Yellowing and a better top coat by far than the others and Self heals in the sun or with hot water 1200.00 is a great price tell them u will do it with door edges and luggage kit.

Pretty Steep!
For $775 I had the full front bumper, full hood, full front fenders, back of mirrors. They used 3M Scotchguard Premium Protection Film.

Good going should get your door edges done luggage kit done the paint is thin and chips on door edges should cost no more than 75.00 dollars well worth it.

question to those with stripes doing 3M bumper wrap: I was told the film will make the stripes look glossy, you guys okay with that?

Hizli, I checked in with my place with the same question and his XPel program gave him the option of cut-outs for the stripes (allowing the stripes to show)...but I have a question, are the stripes matte or gloss? On the pics I've seen of CY they look glossy...I figure on mine I will get them covered as they seem fragile to begin with!

FWIW I agree with Derand on the SunTEk product...good results on previous vehicles...

The XPEL gives a little look like orange peel affect were the Suntek film look like there is nothing there but a nice shine there is pics of my 350 somewhere here that you can check out were I did the complete car end to end.

Suntek product is not a popular name in the PPF industry but will soon be cause Eastman Chemicals who owns Llumar Films purchased the company in the last few months.

I wondered if there's a difference in factory stripe finish between vehicle colors...are some matte, are some gloss? CY appear gloss so I will just have them covered with the SunTek

Mine has the 3M protective film. The stripes were glossy before. However, on my Boss, which had matte stripes, the film made them look a little glossy.

One of the very popular local installers now uses the self healing suntek over xpel for the clarity reasons mentioned

It looks awesome and the orange was my 2nd choice but I have a low rider 1 ton dually for the shop in orange thought not 2 vehicles the same color did you do the complete car or front clip.

Thats great some shops are trying other products out there. The Sema show in Las Vegas in November every year is the best place to see what new out in the market place.

Look at doing your door edges that they don't get chipped if you hit something and your trunk edge in and out of stuff in your thunk marks it up.
