Taking suggestions on 3M vs xpel?
Dealer quoted me $700 for bumper, partial hood and mirrors. Is that a good price?

I got in clear 3m: front bumper not inlcuding fangs, full front bumper, partial rear bumper
I got in carbon di-noc 3m: front fangs, full hood, full roof, partial rear spoiler, side mirrors

for $1000. I think that $700 for what you listed is a bit high....

Another $300 will get me smoked headlights and reversed tail lights, and clear on the a-pillars. If you want to know PM or text me at 253-988-9251. Can meet you at the shop I got it done at too if need be.

My dealership comp'd me a 3M front bumper including fangs, partial front fenders and hood, side mirrors, A-pillars and partial side skirts right in front of the rear fenders. They told me the cost of all that was $1000 installed. I like it but find that keeping wax from the edges is a bit of a chore and the clear bra tends to water stain easily. I suppose pearl white would hide wax build-up a little easier than blue and $700 seems reasonable to me if they give you the same amount of coverage I got.

My z is pearl white. I don't know if I like the partial hood. Don't want a line and the full hood is more money then I want to spend unless I can get a good deal.

I paid $600 for this in 3M and it included headlights, fangs so you're close.
Good tip, use Plexus for cleaning and polishing. This can usually be found at any motorcycle dealer as its popular for helmets and windscreens.

That's a partial hood. I don't like the line either but it's not that noticeable and I had to draw the line on cost somewhere. (excuse the pun). It was done by a mobile guy so he came right to my work which was nice.
