Whats a fair price to pay for "Ventireshield" clear bra NJ area??

[TAXIMAN1]

I got a quote for "Ventureshield", for side sills, and front facia ONLY. Seems high, whats a "fair" price for this? Keep in mind, the price quoted to me, was a "mobile" install. And they guy is about 50 miles from me. So, Im certain there is at least $100 or so padded in for gas/time/tolls. thanks

I install ClearMask which is a similar paint protection film. I charge $750 for hood/fender/mirrors/front bumper/and the door cuffs. Rocker panels are another $200 due to the amount of material you are having to install. I am not sure what he quoted you or how much higher gas is in NJ as opposed to SoCal, but it shouldn’t be to much more.

Definitely check out some of his prior work before you get it done. There are some poor installers out there and you will end up wasting your money.

Venture Shield is a lot cheaper than 3m since it is thinner and a lot easier to install. I had the front of my 335i done for 300 bucks and it would have been $700 with 3M.

Not sure if that helps or not. It also has to do with how many curves etc. Viper bumpers are very expensive and sill are probably a lot easier.

He quoted $825 for Front Facia,Side Sills, and "mobile" install.. High/low/about right?? opinions?

He did mention he could save me a few bucks if I drove the car to him (about 60 miles from me).. But I would prefer to carefully wash the entire car (my way). And NOT drive AT ALL prior to install. So, I actaully prefer the "mobile" idea. IF the job can be dont as well, as it could be at the shop..

$825? That is big money for Venture Shield. That does not include mirrors or the hood?

no, it does not.

You should be looking elsewhere.

For $825 you should be getting the hood/bumper/mirrors/fenders/lights. I charge another 200 for the rocker panels due to the amount of material. It sounds to me like he is really high on his price. I would check around a little more and I also highly recommend seeing some previous installs before paying someone to do yours.

First, thats not really high for RETAIL, i know a couple guys who spent over 1000 for that and hood, I install and sell Ventureshield, as for thickness both the 3M paint protection film and Ventureshield are basically 8 to 8.5 mil. As for price, 3M is about .10 to .15 more a foot, not sure where agent got his numbers, but I have the price sheet in front of me. I assume that the installer prefers Ventureshield that did his car and he told him that. Also it could be that up until about 3 months ago, if you ordered Ventureshield material, the patterns are free, but 3m would have to be bulked or pay for the kit. Now that 3M owns Ventureshield that is not the case. As for the Viper kit, I will upload a picture of it so you can see it.

If you have an 08 hood, I can get you the Ventureshield clearbra for free if your within 1 hours drive of boston MA. I thought NJ was close. If you not close to Boston ask the guy what the labor charge is, and Ill sell you this entire kit as seen above for 300 plus shipping.

85, sent you a PM.. Sounds like a decent price for the kit. Whats a fair price to ask him, to install it for?

I'm most interested in the side sill piece.. After very little miles, I can see this is the area, that takes MOST of the abuse on these cars.. I want to see if my installer will do a "custom" piece to cover the lips (actually remove those bolts, in the fender well area. As well as the bolts UNDER the side sill.. This way, the whole piece is protected.

I guess I'm getting a great deal. I paid $495 for 3M installed for all pieces shown in graphic and he added two pieces in the rear wheel wells and wrapped upk the rear bumper for no extra charge. The guy came to my house for the install. I live 1 hour north of Boston.
