    Try the regional forum instead. You'll get far better responses.

    You may want to look into a DIY installation as well, I haven't done mine yet but after I priced out Amazon 3M wrap-only vs installed Xpel the Xpel labor came out to five bills. Xpel may be superior but OP is looking for a clear bra so I figured I'd throw it out. There are some pretty comprehensive videos on YouTube for the install, a guy does a CTS-V door and explained it well enough that I plan on giving it a shot.

    As a reference point, I had my full hood, front bumper, headlights, front 1/2 of front fenders, mirror backs, door edges, door cups, rear bumper piece, and rockers and bottom part of doors all done in Xpel for $950. Same shop has done may last 3 cars.

    I got half hood, half fenders, full bumper and side mirrors done for $850 thru the dealer.
    It was with the suntek product. If you check my build thread you can see installed photos.

    Cowboyzx6 - True, it was an insane price. They have done a few of my cars and I send them business often. They did an RS5 I sent them two weeks later. They do nice work and watching them do a clear bra, it takes some skill. I would not want to try to do one on my car unless I was just doing almost flat surfaces to learn.

    I was planning on doing the A3 however after pricing out the material for the half hood, fenders and mirrors, it would make logical sense to get someone experienced to do the work. Material alone came out to roughly USD500. My S3 was done at a local shop for CAD850 all in.

    Hey...

    Which version or line of paint protection are you getting as there are 3 versions - Pro, Scotchguard and Ventureshield? Pro is 7 years, Scotchguard (8mil) is 5 years and Venture (8mil) is 5 years of warranty.

    Just want to make sure you are getting what you are ordering.
