your best bet is to go to 3m's website and look for authorized retailers and installers of the product

If you got someone who can install it I got a great guy out of Wisconsin (Chipgard) who is very reasonable on the kit. Hood, Fender, Mirrors, Pillars, Roof, Full bottom front spoiler and rear bumper top... Because I have purchased two other kits from him my price was 280.00 deliverd... If you know someone that can do it offer them a couple hundred bucks to install and you are way a head of the game.... He sells only the 3M material which is 8 MIL in thickness. I will be ordering this weekend for my 2009 TL Tech SH-AWD Mayan Bronze/Ebony... Talk to you soon

My Xpel installer charged me $350 for the entire front end, hood, front fenders and mirrors. He also came to my house to do the install.

Personally, I wouldn't get one of these. You can still see chips (they just stir up a white clear nick in the 3M) and there is a line that is visible where it is applied. I would rather use touchup paint every nick and get my bumper repainted for $200~$300 after 3~4 years.

Here is some info posted at xpel.com:

...and here is info posted at 3M:

I do not see any evidence that the 3M film is thinner than the xpel product. However, the 3M site appears less forthcoming on technical specifications than the xpel site.

I could see the front bumper area being valuable...since the hood is fairly horizontal and whereas the front bumper is full on flat. It's nice to pull off your xpel in a few years and still have fresh, nice paint underneath.
Oh and...
Thank you for your horribly wrong insight.

I've seen a lot of clear bra on many different cars and I think these guys are THE best. I've used them on my old cars and I couldn't be happier. They travel all over the country (and overseas too).

And no, I'm no way related to them whatsoever.
