Invinca-Shield Installation

Ok, so I purchased a 6"x84" strip of 3M Paint Protection Film. I cut my own pattern and successfully installed a 6" strip across my hood. This stuff isn't easy to install. I'm sure the pros are trained and have plenty more practice than I have, but trying to get this stuff to stretch to lay flat and to follow the contours is very difficult. It's also not cheap. The best price I could find was $58 for the 84" strip. 84" doesn't go very far.
Maybe I found a business opportunity in the MD/DC/VA area.

$700 is a very good price for product + installation. If I recall, Xpel for the front bumper, hood, lights, and side mirrors cost around $500. Probably because there are only 2 shops in my area that sell and instal the Xpel bra I could not do better than $1,000 for product + installation. I would have loved to have saved $$$, but the only way would have been to do the installation myself and I wasn't going there. Anyway, it's done, I'm very pleased with the result, and the product and work are warranted for the life of the car.
