Got quoted almost $900 for partial hood, front bumper, mirrors, & fenders. Does it sound reasonable? Film is Xpel with 10 Yr warranty

That sounds fair! You're getting more for $985 than my quote for $900!

No doubt! He'd be making more money up here in the east!

I just got mine done today @ Advance Auto Engineering in Cerritos, CA.


I just wanted the front bumper done, after calling around i was quoted a range of prices from 380-500

Of course i ended up going for the cheapest one (had good reviews on yelp, so i figured it was safe).

Ended up adding a few things, breakdown like this:

$380 front bumper (non F sport)
$40 both mirrors
$70 6 pc headlights (2 headlights, 2 DRL, 2 fog lights)

Total: $490 + tax

I went with XPEL with 10 yr warranty.

I already had the port installed clear bra on the hood/fenders/rear doors which is a rip off. The Lexus clear bra is yellow in comparison to the XPEL (and even the 3M scotch guard). I asked my clear bra installer why this was, he said the OEM's always use the "old 3M stuff" which is the slightly yellow crap. Oh well, live and learn.

So i could have saved a couple hundred if i had gone completely aftermarket with my clear bra AND had a better looking clear bra. Eventually i will have the OEM yellow clear bra removed and go XPEL to match the rest of the car...

Not so bad deal! I was a bit hesitant about purchasing the clear bra from the dealer as I've heard so many stories and complaints. So the same week when I purchased the car, I went online and read reviews about 3M and Xpel. I was glad I didn't make the decision to purchase anything from the dealer. I'll be getting Xpel for my front bumper, hood, fenders, and headlights in the upcoming weeks (hopefully it stops snowing)
