So just picked my car and I love it! They weren't able to wrap the antenna but did take care of the rails. I'll post some pics tomorrow, it's dark outside already.

Well $300 was the quoted price, they run a store based on sales and I don't want to put them on blast. They took care of me, this isn't the first car I've taken to them.

They said they tried to wrap it but it wasn't coming out right and would peel rather quickly.
