My only problem with Phil was the price, i mean for $1450 I can get the whole bumper and maybe other parts repainted in the future!

Generally it's not the shop that does the work it's an outside person they call. So it's there cost on top of the installers. I didn't look into it that much, but your best bet is to call around, tint shops, high end detailers, even your chevy dealer, chances are they use the same guys. Also there was a post in this category of someone who just had it done, but they used a different brand than 3m, you could look at the different brands website, and find a retailer. Ghazzi definitely try to see some of there work if possible, I had a car tinted at place cause there were the cheapest, and let's just say it really shown. I agree 1450 is a lot get some more prices and compare.

This is the reason I don't ever do clear bras, b/c the quality of the installation I would want would be close to or more than what it would cost to reshoot the front end. I would only trust an installer like Phil (who will charge accordingly) to do a film install on my vehicles. Too many times clear bra installs look horrible IMO.

If you want a clear bra, Phil will do it right and do it with the best possible materials and process... again... pay for what you get.

Hey Dylan,

Would you recommend them to do a full exterior detail? Ive been looking for someone to remove the dealer prep swirls and all. Dont have time to do it myself..

In short of you coming to NJ and doing my ride :P

Sent Phil a message and he got back to me with a quote of $1000 for the Front Fascia and side mirrors. Would be a hike of a drive for me to his shop from South Jersey but I have yet to find a reputable installer here in the Phila / Southern NJ area

ABSOLUTELY!! Call Phil and let him know I sent you... he is a TOP NOTCH detailer and one of the few guys I'd trust to do my personal vehicles if I wasn't doing them myself.
