I only paid about $650 for full front bumper, partial hood fenders, headlight and side view mirrors.


Just called today for a quote. They quoted me 2400 for xpel ultimate full front.

I hope you find a better price man. I had suntek installed on my bumper, full hood, half fenders, and mirrors about a month ago for $1,050. I was getting quotes that were double what I ended up paying while calling around.

Xpel is expensive as hell.

I love it. The only area you can tell that the car has anything on it is where the clear bra ends on the half covered fender, and you really have to know it's there to see it. Added benefit outside the protection is it makes washing the car a thousand times easier. I had the option of Xpel for no extra charge, but the installer said the Suntek is easier to work with so the installs turn out better, and that it usually has less defects in the material.

I'm sure they'd do a great job. Still you could probably get your whole car wrapped in vinyl for around the same price.

Go with what you can afford. I did my own install of 3m pro($300 alone for the material). It turned out great on the hood, the fenders, the mirrors.... now the full bumper was a bitch... I got 90% of it fitted great. The other 10% ... I know where I f'd up. I just wanted protection from Michigan road stones. So far working out awesome. Will pay for a pro install in the future. But good enough for now.
