That's full retail, shop cost is probably 40-50% of that.

On the Camaro I was told approximately 1500 to 2000 for the Xpel. Apparently it took them just over 40 hours to apply. I have a couple of small defects. The installer is actually catching a ferry from Vancouver on Sunday to where I live to finish up the small problems and minor adjustments. This kind of service is what you pay for and can expect to have throughout the life of the ClearBra. 3 hours each way us $80 each way in ferry fares. I'm very impressed.

Looks good dude!

Paint correction, Xpel and Ceramic coated. Only I paid 2100 for everything. Couldn't be happier. Also my paint was so bad the guy that did the paint correction almost denied doing it. Car looks museum quality now. Also I am blown away.

8200 Canadian.
Paint correction, full Suntek PPF over the entire car, ceramic coat rims and over the PPF, and full tint including windshield. I’m really happy and blown away by how easy the car is to clean.
These cars throw rocks cause of how far the tires stick out. I highly recommend you do the rear quarters too. The area in front of the rear wheels will get sandblasted.
Car looks awesome Crushed!!!👍👍👍

Thank you. I think I spent a night IN Stoney Creek on my way to Westlock AB. Your ride looks phenomenal! Owning a black vehicle is a part time job. The PPF and ceramic changes all that. Beautiful car brother!

Just looking at your picture. Are they Z/28 rims? They are skookem!

Yes they are.
Upon the vehicle arriving I ordered them so they are warranted like the factory rims and tires. Well....... three came in and one was lost in transit!!!
No kidding you there were no other front rims in any warehouses in North America. Took me a week and a half to locate a rim in Texas.
Had it shipped to wnyz1les house and I picked it up there.
What a gong show.
Regardless. They look awesome.
My original rims and tires are waiting for track day👍👍👍

You're car looks sick, I'm in NJ - where did you get the Xpel done? Place near me wants to 2900 just for Xpel.

Meant to say, the Stoney Creek I live in is in Ontario
Thanks for the compliment on my car. The PPF definitely helps.
It was a tough pick between Black and Crush. But I originally had dreams of a black one so I stuck to the game plan.

Thanks!
I got the expel done in Syracuse, NY. Place called CNY solar protection. Owners name is Bruno. Great guy and great at what he does.
I did not have the whole car done. Just the parts I felt susceptible to rocks and road debris.
He is very reasonable.
