I went to Kevin @ GTA In Detail, he works with Marco @Advanced Automotive Film.
Kevin did the new car prep (removing swirl marks, paint decontamination etc) and application of CQuartz, then Marco did the 3M film for bumper, headlights, hood, also plastic trip piece on front doors (since those get heavy use). These guys are regarded as one of the best, I searched various forums, like Tesla, BMW etc.
Their work came out great, even since I asked dealer not to touch the car, so it was still with a wrap on the hood and other spots, but they managed to swirl it up in several places. The guys also accommodated me just before Christmas holidays, they really understand customer service well. It may not be easy to call and get to them right away, I believe they are running the business in addition to their daily work, but email communication is best, but took a little bit of time to schedule, again due to holidays probably.
I picked them because of their reputation, as well as their Mississauga location, it was closer for me to go there from Kitchener.

Thanks, would anyone be able to say how much they paid for the film on front bumper, fenders and hood?

I went to SRS automotive Tinting solutions in Mississauga. They did a good job. Check their website. It has pricing.

Great, I know exactly where they are. Which package did you take if you don't mind me asking?

Here's my 2 cents...

I got mine done at Auto-links by John and his crew about 2 years ago.

They did a great job! I got the full hood, full front bumper, partial fenders & side mirrors done. He threw in headlight (both daylight and night), and rear trunk ledge.

Few weeks in, one corner around the headlamp started to bubble and after I told them they asked me to bring in the car and they quickie fixed it. No issues since, still have it on today.

Check out their website, they got pricing for packages and also check RFD as they may have some group discount going on.

I also got my tints done at the same time. Only thing I wish I did different was get darker tints. I got whatever the legal limit was...
Good luck

I was at SRS this past weekend.. A great place.. They were doing my tint since I already had paint protection done..

The cool thing with them, they use a plotter to cut out the patterns so it fits perfectly and saves time..

Great prices too, you just have to put up with the euro-rave club music they like to play if your going to wait at the shop while they work.

I went there (SRS) on a Saturday. Stayed there for about 4 hours. I booked the appointment about 3 weeks in advance.

I only got ppf. I had to wait a bit, but my job took about 2 hours.

I used Touch of Tint in Mississauga. http://touchoftint.com

The owner Mike is a good guy. Straight shooter. Can't recall the price but I got the full hood, front lights, side mirrors, front bumper, full fenders and side skirts done with XPEL Ultimate summer 2016. Still looking amazing.
