SoCal owners: Opticoat?

[BaatLuk]

Was quoted for $1700 for Xpel or Suntek at Rhino, which is too much for a car in this price range. 6.5% of value of the car for a clear bra, just can't justify it rationally.

Anyone know a reputable shop in SoCal that would do a clear bra for around $700-800?

BUMP, any shop recommendations? Reasonable price range?

If its a C7 Corvette or Toyobaru, it doesn't make a difference. Film is film and time is time. For a C7 Corvette, the price is minor compared to the price of the car. For the Toyobaru, you're right, its a sizable percentage.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to how much coverage you want. If you're trying to protect yourself from rock chips, you may only want front bumper and whole hood. I think you could find front bumper + full hood for $700-800.

The paint on these cars is so fragile. I wish I could have Xpel'd the whole car. But it would have been easily $4k. For what will one day be a track car for me... Thats too much money.
