We recently introduced a Moderate Level installation that gives the owner the same quality installation as our Advanced Level, what's made us unique, at a lower price point.

Since the labor involved has dramatically reduced, ie. no paint correction, no major dis-assembly/re-assembly of bumper, and no nano coating, we were able to bring our clear bra service down to a level where most feel it's an excellent VALUE. You still get a proper FULL front coverage with wrapped edges in most areas. We consider hood, bumper, fenders, headlights, and mirrors to be FULL front. After a proper wash, we decontaminate the paint surface and do an alcohol wipedown to make sure paint surface is CLEAN. The vehicle is finally inspected for clear bra installation accuracy and the rest of vehicle is spray waxed, glass cleaned, tires and wheels cleaned and protected and interior gets a vacuuming and light cleaning. Amazing VALUE for what we charge at that price point. I'm not aware of this service being offered this way anywhere else.

As many that are our clients know, we put a lot of labor and passion behind what we do. Many hours of experience are also obtained by simply catering to these vehicles and knowing our way around them. We feel that's what the client is ultimately paying for. Our expertise, cutting-edge techniques, and more importantly, customer service relationship. For me to carry out all those things at such a high level for every vehicle coming and leaving our studio, well...you get the idea...you get what you pay for

From our beginnings with me starting out in my 1993 Honda Accord, Glistening Perfection has never been the cheapest...but we do things other can't or don't want to because it's simply too much work. We do it the "GP" way for one simple reason...it's the only way we know how. Anything less, I might as well choose another career or go build an ant farm. No offense to anyone into ant farming

 

It sounds like you got great coverage.

FWIW...headlights are extremely safe and easy to remove. An experienced installer should be able to remove both in less than 60 seconds. Just make sure to check them for proper re-installation. We've had a few come through our doors from previous installers that weren't locked back in...an expensive "OOPS".

 

mad_max, what is most important here is for you to take a look at the work in person. There's nothing better than seeing the final product with your own eyes. Several other recommendations important to consider:

1. Is the company your are looking at - are they actually performing the work themselves? Many auto companies out there may not actually be doing the installations; hence, you will be paying more because of a mark up.
2. If so, how long have they been in business? or performing this type of installation. Online forums are easily searchable on a company's history. Even such as 6speedonline, you can easily perform a search on when a company began posting or marketing their services. This is important because it goes back to #1 in some instances.
3. Custom vs. precut: this is subjective and everyone will have a different opinion on this. For paint protection and window film installations since the late 1990s, we have noticed the more particular customers will choose a custom option over a precut one. The difference is in the seams. Precuts will generally come in multi-pcs for more difficult bumpers while a good custom applicator can make it blend in very nicely.
4. Last, but not least - not all installers are equal: Precut or Custom.

Below are some shots of what custom application looks like:

 

Well stated PF. My 996 was custom and looks FANTASTIC!! It also helps vastly to have a well experienced person doing the work. ;-)
