Hi~!! Do you guys know how much does it usually cost for a full front 3m protector cost?
the scion dealer said they charge for $599 (bumper ,fog. headlight, hood and minror)
it sounds so expensive, dont know if it would be cheaper to get body shop to do it
also is it hard to maintance?because i had a used car before that had 3m on, but after a while, dirt around it and the plastic seems like melted and screw my paint
any suggestion or command?

it's one of those things that yes, it is cheaper at a shop, not all shops do it, and you do need to get it redone every few years.

DEFINITELY worth it though.

3-M Protector

As Phobic said "it is definitely worth it". It was on my XB (Boxanne) when I bought it and the lack of paint chips is a huge plus. That does seem a little high and I would do some checking around.

Thats actually about right pricing from a dealer.

 

[phobic]

yeah, its def on par with a dealer, but unless your car has 0 miles on it and 0 rock chips, might as well bring it to a shop that will fill any rock chips then put the bra on and it'll be way less.

So if you get this put on it covers the front bumper and some of the hood?So I guess you dont wax that area or what?

I'm wondering if my vinyl guy couldn't make something like this for me for much less. He did the body graphics on the '09 and did my windshield banner. He is a full-service vinyl, body wrap, advertising shop. I'll just ask him.

ask him if he can get or use magnetic vinyl!! Its thicker than regular and holds just as tight!!! Thicker is better protection!!!:biggrin:
