I would say its a good price, but you might want to think about this.

I paid about 950, for the Entire front bumper, front part of the hood, mirrors, right infront of the rear wheels, and the top of the rear bumper (entrance to the trunk)

That price included installation. I wouldnt be comfortable installing it myself, but if you are, more power to you.

The only other thing is, mine was the 3M product. They have a good reputation, and a 5 yr warranty against yellowing and all that fun stuff. I have also heard that 3M has a "clearcoat" or something on their clearbra to make them a little better.

under the door handles generally means he will apply 3m strip there to stop that from being scratched from your sharp finger nails! A must if you have a black car...

the 3m brand is made of polyurethane not vinly...so they will not yellow or crack etc etc.

You are only missing the full rear bumper now!

The biggest cost you are going to incur paying for a clear bra installation is the labor.

Well worth it if you dont have experience installing yourself. It would suck to spend $3-400 on a pre-cut kit install it wrong and have to peel it off the car.

Talking 10 bucks!

I found some on ebay for 10 bucks

LINK!

Dont know if the link will work but if it doesnt here's the ebay username.

--> xtremecity <--

I bought it but didn't instal it...I will right after my bumper repaint + antirust.

It seems like a really good product for 10 bucks, I ask my friend who's a windows tint pro if the material was good, and he said that it looked like the OEM used by ACURA.

SO....we'll see.... I'll keep you guys updated.
