Cost of clear paint protection film like 3M
Hi,
Since my order of my 135i will be coming in soon, I have been looking at the various methods of protecting that new paint with 3M/Xpel/Stone guard.
I asked the dealer how much it would cost to do the film protection and they quoted me about $1129. I thought that was really steep, and so I went to find a local installer who was supposed to be really reputable, and he quoted me $2,425 for material and labor. This was only for the hood, bumper, mirrors and front fenders. :eyebulge:
To be fair, I did not ask what kind of coverage the dealer was going to install for me...but at $1129, I assumed at that time that it was for full frontal coverage.
I live in the Bay Area, and wonder if anyone has ever paid for such an install, and how much you paid for it? Materials and labor.
If it is too $$$, I am thinking of even buying a kit and doing the install myself.:iono:
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you.
