How much does a clear bra installation usually cost?

Sorry if there's already a thread for this. I called a shop today and they quoted me $800 for partial include headlights. $1700 for full front. what you guys think?

Seems a little high and the headlights are a problem for most installers as the bump inthe lens creates air pockets. I skipped the headlights...

If you wanna drive to CA, from the vendor on this forum, aero tect... if you look in the CA thread, they have an install page... They did my hood, facia, lenses, rocker panel, bikini line on the roof, pillars for a really great price (significantly less than both your quotes).

I definitely vouch for these guys.

By a local guy in Dallas I was quoted roughly $700 for a half hood/half fender SpeedShield. $1,100 for the whole hood and whole fenders. Both include the bumper of course.

I talked to him about doing my A-pillars, mirrors, and headlights, but I don't remember if that was part of the estimate.

I paid $800 Cdn for 24" hood, 10" roofline, full bumper, A pillars, rocker panels, front and rear of all wheel wells, mirrors, and half the front fenders. In this picture you can't even see where it starts and ends. They did a great job.
