Damn man 1000-1200 for a clear bra?! They gave me top of the line for $795 and that included the bumper , hood, door edges , mirrors, and door cups. I went without the door cups and edges. Looks scratched with them installed.

Xpel is actually the same film as suntek with different glue, i have the majority of my car done in it, the entire hood is done in one peice, the fenders are done in one peice as well as the bumper that way you done see the lines or seams. If you just get a small strip done on the hood or fenders it is easy to see the lines. With the full panel done in 1pc you can't see it's done at all you look very closely at the edges to see its done. I also have the mirrors, head lights, windshield pillars and 1/4 of the roof, as well as the side skirts, behind the rear wheels and the flat spot on the rear bumper by the trunk.
People that say they will get a respray, I said that once too but it's a hassle to drop the car off at the paint shop leave it for a week chance the paint match being off. Not to mention no paint lasts as good as factory paint, get the clear bra and you don't have to worry about it....
