Not as expensive as repainting.
I had my front bumper, air splitter, front fender & hood (up to the back end of the hood vent) and the side mirrors done for $1100. This includes the materials & the labor. Tax was $33 extra.
I certainly don't feel that I over paid for this either. The owner told me that I had one complete redo if anything happened, and I get a 5 year warranty.

I got a quote of $600 locally for just the bumper.
For others that are curious, I got a quote for bumper, full hood, full fenders and rockers for $2400.
I decided to do it myself, it's not perfect and looks like crap in some parts but I got bumper, full hood, full fenders, rockers, rear rockers, mirrors and roof for $1000 just for the material. Does the job, not pretty but when time comes to replace it due to damage, I'll have it done professionally.

I looked at xpel's site and it looks to be $450 for the precut kit for the bumper so the shop is charging me $200 to install.......deals done now so no reason to cry if I'm getting ripped off, paid for the material and am scheduled for tomorrow.
I had thought to change my mind on getting the bra done now because I was thinking of having a splitter molded into the oem bumper cover but the cost of that was prohibitive

I got the 3M Venture Shield half up hood, well over lights, entire front, and side mirrors, it was about $825--worth every penny to me and cant tell anything in on there. Great stuff!

"In honor of jpee"
Having recently looked into clear bra for another car, prices vary all over the map. Literally. Some towns are less than others, some installers charge less, some a lot more. Even shops in the same general area can have a variation of almost 50% or more for the same product/brand. The variation in price seems not to go along with skill, years in biz, or anything else except what their market will bear. Either the market bears it, or they go out of biz, as many seem to do.
