I paid 525 in VA for the bumper, hood, mirror,headlights, fenders, side wheel wells and rear bumper (small strip on top of bumper) using ventureshield.

Now in NY
They are asking 550 for the same above, but not including side wheel wells for ventureshield as well.

I read somewhere that some places are willing to install if you bring your own that you can buy off of sewell or ebay etc.. for ~100-150 installation fee but none of the ones in NY i tried would do that.

we sell the complete package at the dealership here for $795. Thats front bra, doors, trunk deck and under the handles. you should try negotiating with the local dealership as our cost on our "Digicut" (system we use) is $400, might be able to get it down below $600

<< $570 OTD from Aerotect last year. Front bumper, 1/3 hood, side fenders, side mirrors, headlights, and fog lights. Other places was quoting me $300-$500. I went with Aerotect cause they're well known in this forum. My was Venture Shield btw.. same company as 3m.

Mine was $600 plus tax. It included the front bumper (including headlights and foglights), partial hood, side mirrors, door handle cups, and door sills.

$700 though is better than my dealership that wanted $1300 for not even all of the stuff I listed above.
