Sounds like the same thing I was quoted, minus the tax. Seems like a good deal to me!

Talking to my friend who just got a audi S5 he was quoted $2000 for a place to get the xpel for the hood front bumper, head lights, mirrors, front quater panels, and side skirts. Then I told him he might as well get the doors and roof done to how much more could it be and they quoted him $4000. Anyone else pay this much, is this common

If your going to do it, do it correct and get the front bumper/lights/fender/full hood done. I paid around 1100 but that also included tint and some extras (side skirts, rear door areas)

LOL. I'm sure that would be great if everyone could do that. But not everyone has that much money to throw around.

I'm personally getting the front bumper, headlights, side-view mirrors, half fenders, full hood, and side skirts. Hopefully it's not much more than $800.

I want to get one of these for the front end, including headlights. I think it's a great idea.

Thats why im looking into in my 2013 WW GSR only have 1200 and there are chips in the paint, let me know how much you paid if you dont mind. It funny cuz the same shop that is doing my friends S5 said for me to get my entire car wrapped in 3m vinyl it would only be $2500, when ask the guy said the xpel was alot more expensive. So I might just get my car wrapped.

Don't understand what there is to laugh at?

They do this to show how good they are at film installation. Did you not see the site I posted. Their work is phenomenal.

Just got back from the Xpel Ultimate install. I ended up getting full front bumper, full hood, partial fenders, side-view mirrors, and headlights.

They did an amazing job. The only 2 places where you can see seems are on the fenders and one cut along the bumpers aggressive curves beside the headlights (towards the center piece).

You really cannot tell that it is there, unless you are looking for it.

You can use any bug remover, and any type of wax on the Ultimate film. That's the beauty of it.
