I was Quoted $950 to cover all of the vulnerable areas. It depends on the color of your car it will show up more on darker colors

Paid $800 flat. With the Black, you see a slight line, but you need to look close. The company in PA that did mine was really very good...If the job is not done correctly, it can look bad even on a light color.

I had my CY done for $750. They did the front bumper, half the hood, headlights, A-pillars and mirrors, plus a section in front of the rear wheels - think 911. It is by far the best investment I have made for my Z. I've got 19K on her and not a chip anywhere.

I was just saying that in general they are slightly more noticeable on darker cars especially if there are any imperfections

Spent ~$700 in RTP, NC. Got:

1. Front fender
2. Partial hood/side flares
3. Side mirrors

20k miles and 1 or 2 chips on the roof above the windsheild. I do a lot of highway driving, so to me, it's worth it.

I had mine done in Ft Walton, Fl.

I had the FULL hood, bumper, full front 1/4s, A-pillars, and mirrors done. It was $1300, but well worth it. Ive already had two knicks on the hood and one on a fender, as well as a couple of spots on the bumper that woulda been really bad, but are just minor blemishes on the clear bra that disppear with a simple waxing.

There are Clear Bra kits that I have seen on the Internet. They run about $200 to $300 depending on how many pieces you want.
