im going to have the 3M stuff installed on the whole hood, fenders, front bumper/headlights/fogs and rocker panel and skirts. it's about $1700 installed, is that reasonable?

they quoted me $400 for 3M tints, i know i can get tints for cheaper but curious if anyone has 3M tints and is it worth the extra money.

Wow, I paid $600 for the clear bra, $300 for the tint ($900 total). They did the whole front end, flares on all 4 fenders, trunk bottom edge, top of rear bumper, door edges, under door handles, and the side skirts. Didn't do whole hood, only half, but still, $1700 seems very steep.

Way too much. For that price you can just respray the front end when it gets chipped up.

Tint is great but pass on the clear bra (it looks horrible)

The clear bra should not cost that much. not even close.

Also, I really don't like the way they look. Yeah, the car is protected but it is noticeable. I had the full nose kit on my B7S4 and it was installed well but you could see it a mile away (bright silver). I took it off after a year or so.

I have decided against it for the RS4.

tint price is actually fair for all the windows.

$1.2k maybe

I piece of Venture Shield per body panel, Almost zero visibile seams, the film edge is wrapped to the underside of each panel, lots of waste, all custom, etc. I promise that you can't tell it is wrapped unless you look extremely closely.

It was expensive, but done right. So, $1700 is either outrageous or reasonable, depending on the install.<ul><li><a href="http://www.premiermobilegroup.com/gallery_audi.shtml">http://www.premiermobilegroup.com/gallery_audi.shtml</a</li></ul>

the same kind of work you're talking about on the 3m and tint is about the same $$ as you were quoted. I'm located in NYC. As a few people have said though it really is all about the install, and the fact that they'er using 1 piece - you get what you pay for. See if they will do everything for $1700 and if it is top shelf work - do it.

first time i've heard of that - i've seen cars wrapped in colored film, but never the full car in clear.

any idea how much weight it added? do you wax it?
