Default Clear Bra Coverage?

OK, just had a 3M clear bra installed at the dealer. Looks to be like the bra only covers the front hood area and the read view mirrors. I paid $500 for this.

Shouldn't the whole front bumper be covered as well? I could have swore the guy said the whole front was going to be covered???

So do you think for $500 I should have received the deluxe kit?

the dealer wanted $700 from me for the deluxe kit, so I took it to an authorized 3M installer and paid $450 instead

Which dealer in NJ did you have your clear bra installed at.
I just had mine installed today by the guy that installs for
Lawrence Lexus. He said he just did one there yesterday.
Mine was done at his home and he only charged
me $375 for a custom install on the whole bumper. He
could have used a pre cut kit but I asked him to do it with
bulk rolled material. This way he was able to wrap the
edges of the wheel well and around the head lights so
that there are no edges showing that can catch wax.

Yep I just had it installed today at Lawrence Lexus. Perhaps he did mine after yours?
