I couldn't find any price I was willing to pay. Most installers I talked to were asking $650 and up for the install. I decided to buy the 3M film kit on ebay and give it a go myself. It's not for the timid, but I think my install came out fairly decent -- besides, its hard to see any boo-boos on a white car.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jbarnhart @ Jun 1 2006, 12:58 AM) [snapback]263925[/snapback]</div> it is amazing how much installers want for the clear bra... what did the kit cost you?
I bought one for $185 plus shipping from Paint Protection Pro. Here is a typical auction for their Prius deluxe kit. If you go this route, read up on the instructions for installation from every source you can find. Don't install youself if you're going to be bummed at any deviation from perfect. It isn't going to be perfect on your first try. But mine came out good enough that most people don't even see the clear bra, and those who do don't realize it was an amateur installation.
Vince at Omega Tintwerks in Pleasanton did my clear bra. He does excellent work. (925) 227-1322 Tell him Sean sent you and it should be $500 out the door. He did my clear bra with extensive hood coverage which I've been pretty happy with.

My installer was a Xpel certified person named Jeremy, who lives in the city. He's willing to come to your place and do a mobile install or he has shop set up in both Hayward and San Rafael. The price was $495 cash, which included everything + the extra big 24" hood covering. To me that was a very good deal, since the other place I called charge up to $700+ for the entire job. He was very professional. Jeremy's # is 707 328 5865
