The suntek bra is invisible, but the installers I used F'ed it up. Suntek has proprietary cutting machines that cut out the templates for your car so the installer doesnt have to. Needless to say, it didnt cut out the templates to fit exactly...so I have unprotected gaps on my bumper where the separate pieces didn't abutt properly.
FURTHERMOREEEE on the hard corners and wierd angles, the installers screwed it up by using too much heat or stretching it too much, so there are orange peely spots.
Also, the pieces covering the mirrors are 2 pieces per mirror and the top edge looks like crap and is separating.
Finally, I'm pretty sure the installers I used didnt clean the surfaces beforehand because there is crap stuck between the bra and the paint.
Paid $750 + tints (tints flawless minus ~15 miniscule bubbles on back window). Worth it for the protection but boy am I unhappy with the quality of work. You can't see any of the aformentioned issues unless you are deliberately looking for them from within 3 feet.
Hope that helps your decision making process somehow

Yup, your post helped. I got a quote today from someone that was highly recommended by a few people I know who had their cars done there. The guy also uses Suntek and he showed me some of his current work as well, which was excellent. The tints he did were superb and flawless (he's been doing them for many, many years). I think the installer is VERY important and that's where the pricing comes in. I think I will end up getting the full hood, front bumper, fenders, mirrors, rocker panels and tints. Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the installer
