Clear bra - how much??

Just wanted to get a sense of how much it costs for a professionally wrapped: entire hood, front bumper, and entire front fenders. $2000 for a custom cut?

ncamillo is infamous around these parts
contact my friend Goshan @ Elite Auto Films in Fremont, check them out on yelp. He does work for dealerships throughout the bay area. He REdid my entire front because the old clear bra from the dealership wasn't cut properly. I have mine done like you want and it was pristine top notch work. Say Neil Camillo referred you and he'll give you a better price than what's around.

We opted for ventureshield for the smooth texture. 3M has a weird orange peel feel to it.

What color is your car? Mine is black, the hardest to clear bra and his work was great!

clear guard

Dealers usually mark things up 40%. Find someone who will do it at a shop. I got a full custom front with aerokit bumper for 1100.

Talk to some paint shops. They will know of someone.

Mine if I did the entire hood would have been $950. I opted for the standard hood but also got the headlights and front fog lights covered in the 30 mill so I paid $750.

Prices will vary greatly do to the quality of the installer, location, and film used. Your guess is pretty much around normal for Southern California. I got started out there so I know the prices are higher there then here in DFW. There are numerous quality shops out there. premier is one of the best but are a little higher due to their quality and demand. but there are a few others that do great work for less money. I am sure there are numerous people in this forum that will chime in with recommendations.

If you are in the bay area look to Premier Mobile Group in Fremont (http://premiermobilegroup.com/)

They do a fantastic job. I think there are likely numerous folks here that have used them.

Pretty close. I paid ~$1700 two months ago when I bought my Cab.

I emailed him for a quote, but one of the Yelp reviews raises some concerns. Car is the metallic black.

Do you remember what type of film they used and if they used precut pieces or if it was custom wrapping behind panel edges?

Was this for the same coverage?

Premier is asking >$2,000. If the same job can be done for $1,000, and there's a chance the films will need replacement because of rock chips/scratches/etc, I'd rather just get the budget job...but if the difference is just a few hundred, then I've heard a lot of good things about Premier.

Thanks for everyone's help so far.

We paid right around $1100 for the front end including full hood for our C4S. They gave a discount on our Cayenne were having done this week since we did them so close together. Looks like the Cayenne will be around $1100 with the discount with full hood as well. This is venture shield i believe.

Nice. Does this include the front fenders around the top of the headlights back to the door hinge?

Talk to Dutch at Stickercity. Those guys do very good work and are very resonable with their prices.
