Default Xpel install- $275 too much for No. VA?

I just been quoted $275 for hood/mirror/light guard from xpel authorized installer. Does this sound reasonable? He also quoted approx. $300 more for bumper gaurad but he said it only cost $200 to replace whole bumper and he suggests not getting bumper guard installed? *That sounds kind of funny since the whole idea of xpel install was so that I would save money and not have to go through the aggrevation of getting the car repainted and repaird.??* If anyone knows installer in NO.VA area, I would appreciate your feedback.

I paid $365 for the same X-Pel kit w/installation. I did not get the bumper kit because of the cost, and I already had a few nicks anyways. I am happy with the hood and light application, but the mirror kit has a couple of edges poking up. Actually, the light kit had to be replaced because it developed some bubbling. Was replaced at no cost to me. Overall, its worth getting in my opinion. The kit was installed by a guy that does this out of his home in Tysons, name of the company is Ricochet Auto.
