Merry Christmas everybody.
I'm about 3 weeks and 1500 miles into my GS, and I've already noticed some VERY minor chips. One very small one on the hood, and a couple others down low on the bumper. I'm a little concerned with it being so new and this happening already, the silver really doesn't do a good job hiding chips.
SO, I'm thinking about having a clear bra installed. I got a quote from a very respected local installer for $1200, that includes full bumper, first 24" of the hood, fenders, & mirrors. No headlights. Xpel Ultimate self healing. This guy is well respected in forums, I have no doubt he'd do an awesome job but that strikes me as being really expensive.
Thoughts? This car is a lease so I don't want to go nuts, but I do take really great care of my cars and its not impossible I may want to buy it at the end. $1,200 is too much...but I'd probably happily pay $700...
What have you guys paid that have had it done? Any installers in MD, DC & VA you recommend?

paid 1300 flat and there were cheaper, but I went with this guy because he knew what he was doing.

That was posted over 4 months ago...as is well documented in this thread I already had a different product installed by a different installer.

I did Xpel Ultimate as well. Also leased so didn't want to do something too crazy. Paid $650 for bumper, partial hood, partial fenders, headlghts and sidemirrors.
On my M6, I went with full hood and fenders, headlights, bumper, side mirrors and rocker panels. Cost me $1200.

A lot of it depends on where you are I think. There seem to be a lot more people who do this in NJ/NY and CA, TX, etc than here.

I replied to your PM, he does a great job. He did my GS and my current LS. The LS is SunTek and it's a much better product than the Ventureshield I had on the GS. Spring for the full hood and fenders.
