Clear Bra Price Quotes

I want to protect my paint from all the rock chips I could get through highway miles. It seems that Xpel Ultimate is the top-of-the-line stuff and I got a quote from an installer for ~$1400.

This is for full bumper, hood, fender, and side mirrors. How does this stack up against other prices? Any recommendations from the community?

I got my bumper and door cuffs done with Peter at Clea Bra Pro. I think it ran me 600. It was a while back. That Xpel - the best. Anyways, give him a call.

I want to get a clear bra for my BRZ, but I can't justify spending that kind of money when I know cost for 3M is about $4 per sqft including routing.

$1400 can probably repaint the whole front end...

The 3M isn't self healing. You scratch it or scuff it, that's the way it will be. Xpel on the other thand... Much newer technology. The 3m films that I've researched from local installers hasn't been updated in 10 years.

I had my entire front clip, headlights and mirrors done the first week I owned the car by Norbert from Crystal Auto Sheild in Long Beach(877-707-4435) He only uses XPEL and it came out near perfect. Norbert is a master installer, and a real perfectionist. Just check his yelp reviews.

I researched the best installers from LA to San Diego for weeks leading up to the purchase of my car. I highly recommend him and XPEL as a product. Now it was not cheap but I plan on keeping this car for a very long time so I felt it was well worth the investment. Not to mention I plan to track the car a couple times a year so I the added protection is well worth it in my eyes.
If you want a great installer at very competitive price call Norbert. You will not be dissapointed.
