Good price for Suntek paint protection film? Almost full wrap..

young dude · 12-09-2016, 09:22 AM

2013 E92 M3, new to me last week.

I'm doing Suntek full hood / fenders / bumper, full rear bumper, full rocker panels, A pillars, and half a foot of the front CF roof.

I'm paying $1,850 from a very reputable installer. Ripped off or fair?

Also, the price would've been the same for XPEL, but he recommended Suntek, which my research shows to be better anyway.

Paid 2300 for the same coverage minus rear bumper on my GT4. Seems like a good deal at least to me. Suntek has a 5 year warranty and I think Xpel has 10 year warranty. Something to consider.

That's actually quite a good price, we typically see for just a full front, 1895-2100. Rockers add about 400-650, a-pillars and leading edge of roof are usually small enough to include within the pre-cut kit, so there isn't as much film waste.

Thank you.. the edges aren't wrapped though, but it was my fault for not confirming whether they were gonna wrap. Overall job well done and the seams are very close to the edge. Can't really get them wrapped now lol.

I am quite happy with Xpel. Dealers seem to be pushing Suntek for some reason but time will tell if it is as good as Xpel which has been around longer.

It's crazy how expensive it is to install these.

It varies depending on the specific body panel and car. More complex creases, panels, etc. will drive up the price. You should see the pricing on my Corvette....

What I find hard to understand is why you would be wrapping the entire car, except for only a small piece on the roof?
