most custom cut jobs in SF are $4000 now, crazy for a disposable film that lasts 10 years tops IMO. a paint job is about $2000.

if you can get it done for under $3000, consider that a good deal if the installer is reputable. just bc nice cars are in the shop doesn't mean the job is top notch btw.

For the parts you are getting covered ~ $2000 is about right..

Sounds like a fair price to me. I would even pay extra if they are proven installers for 911's and stand behind their installation.

I paid 1500 for a very similar job on my M5 using more expensive Suntek self-healing matte-satin film.

So that is pricey. This said it's best to get a top notch installer - my guy was the best. Not sure what "the best" costs in Dallas. The best is often not the most expensive because if you are very skilled you make less mistakes and need less film and time.

Price is a little high and 12 hours of labor??? Wow that's a long time for that simple of an install. But if they do good work go with it. Not sure what your market is up.

Entire front end up to doors + rear fender wells $1150. Don't get ripped off, this is not rocket surgery

Those are crazy good prices.
I am doing the rest of my car, from mirrors back (except deck lid grille).
They want nearly $4K for that.
That is excluding the front (bumper/hood/fenders) that I already had done.

I found the rest of the car takes lots of rock hits and the paint chips so easy.
So entire car gets covered.

They may be crazy good prices where you are at but what you are paying is absolutely ridiculous. If I charged that much I would have been retired long ago.
