Thank you Ghicks99. Just got off the phone with another place in town who wanted $1200. Would try to do it myself but I have a familiar tremor so not the steadiest of hands.

$1K-$1.2K for chrome delete is RAPE. I'd ask PPF resellers around your area for recommendations of good installers. A skilled installer is much more important than the vinyl used. Most vinyl will last 3-5 years, but depends on if you park outside in direct sun alot. My car lives in the garage 95% of the year, I rarely drive it. Vinyl is holding up just fine after a year. I'm careful not to spray water directly at it during washes. And I always apply Bead Maker on the vinyl for some UV protection. Be warned, the window trim is very difficult to wrap on the GS. You don't want to attempt this if you're inexperienced. You could inadvertently cut the weatherstripping which will lead to a lot of headaches...let the pro's handle it. Steady hands and clean cut are a must.
