Unless you or your friend have experience, I fear you will be wasting $288 and time, especially if you demand a perfect fit/look. Applying this stuff is almost an art form...even some professional installers do a lousy job.

If you decide to do it, let us know how it goes!

Ended up finding a shop that is doing a full bumper, full hood, full front fenders, headlights, mirrors and rear rocker panels for $1100. At that price its worth me just letting them handle it.

Quotes like this scare me - if they're highly recommended and you've seen their work then great. Otherwise $1100 for a full front end and rockers is a red flag

It was a cash price after I did a bit of negotiating(offering cash, a yelp review in return, etc). They do seem like a fairly new shop and most of their reviews are about Tint but what comforted me is he said he used to do the clear bra's for a local Porsche/BMW dealer and then instead started his own shop now. Also he wouldn't rush the car and said he needed 3 days then walked me through the process of why it takes 3 days. It's also a shop in an area that doesn't have very high rent/overhead and the shop itself is small.

Fingers crossed, I get it back on Sunday in the afternoon.

1100 is a really good price. do you know what material they are using? xpel? suntek? I wonder how they can pay all the business expenses while charging so little.

Suntek Ultra is what we agreed to and he showed me the Suntek Ultra Matte vs Normal samples.

Yeah crossing my fingers all goes well. I did also call and tell them to do ceramic 35% tint for an extra $200 which seemed like a great price as well for ceramic.

Will pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
