If so how much did you pay?

I got quoted $250 for front bumper & hood and also because I'll pay cash. Does that sound like a deal?


Thanks

$250 for the bumper and hood is a great price. Get it done. I installed the hood strip on my car, which was pretty easy. The bumper, on the other hand, is a PITA......best left to someone with experience.

Lexus started doing this from the dealer, Its one of the better things you can do for your car. keeps paint in PERFECT condition, without the fuglyness of a bra. 250 is awesome, do it ASAP. and get some for me

That stuff is great... We have people order it when they are buying a new car from us. You cant even tell its there and the front end is saved from rock chips.

Thanks everyone. I was afraid you would really be able tell it was there or sun will really reflect off of it, but I guess not. Car is in shop getting fixed from front end collision I got in week or so ago. Then car has to sit for 30 days so fresh paint can really dry up before I get the Scotchgard film installed.

Damn $250 is really good then...I rather pay up an extra $30 to have a professional do it then try this task myself.

The only problem with this product is if some a*shole hits your bumper, its hard to remove it when you go to fix it.
