Seems overpriced?

[Murse]

So I'm calling around for quotes to have Xpel Ultimate installed on my front bumper ONLY. Does $789 seem like a high price to you guys for the front bumper alone? Seems crazy to me

I paid $600 on my 1LE for the hood, splitter, and spoiler. I am going to be doing the whole front half of the car plus the front part of the roof for $800

Just to give you an idea

Damn! I dunno what they were smoking...guess I should keep calling around

Well turns out that XPEL corporate headquarters is here in San Antonio, called them up and the Sales Mgr quoted me $525. That other shop was dmoking crack

Good price! The stealth on got on my hood made the matte wrap a more deep matte black. Looks so much better! Plus helps keep the wrap protected from the easy scratches it gets and stains lol

Have you looked into OptiCoat as well? I've heard good things

I got quoted 900 too. Told him I would have to get back to him. After reading this I'm sure I won't be.

Was that just for the precut kit or did it include installation? Did it include the upper and lower bumper... so basically the entire front fascia? A good installer is worth a few extra $ in my opinion. I tried a less expensive option only to have it removed and redone by a better shop.

The original price seems a bit high but not outrageous for a good installer, at least compared to shops in my area. I paid in that vicinity for the entire front bumper, lights, mirrors, and sections behind the rear wheels but the bumper was the lions share because it has a lot of area and separate surfaces.

Opticoat is different than paint protection film. I think of it as a "permanent" wax or sealant but it doesn't really protect against paint chips.

I paid $1200 for xpel ultimate. Full bumper, partial front fenders, mirrors, beont tire, gill area & impact areas behind the front & rear tires . Came out great. Make sure it's a good installer.

It included instalation. Entire Front bumper only. Im having it installed at the Xpel corporate headquarters by the guys that train installers

$525 is a great price if it includes installation... almost too good since the precut kits would be $440 and $250 just for the film (per the Xpel site) to cover the lower and upper bumper. It might be worthwhile to be sure it's the trainers and not the trainees doing the installation.
