Asking if $8K for a full wrap is too much, is like saying is Tesla Model S worth $140K, or should I get a Chevy Volt for less than half the price? Both are cars, both are electric, and both will get you around.
Clear bra installations are so widespread and there seems to be an installer for every budget point. It all comes down to YOUR level of OCD, not someone else's.
It's no surprise, if you search out installers in SoCal, we are on the higher end. We do offer our "moderate" installations which are semi-custom for the more budget/value-minded enthusiast. But our flagship is our Advanced, or custom, installations.
The reason for our success is simple; we're not here to install a commodity. When it comes to clear bra, we are detailers/artisans doing PPF. This means, the attention to detail throughout the ENTIRE process is second to none. From the moment your Tesla arrives, from it's first bath, first paint correction, first tint job, etc., everything is done with the highest level of attention addressing things you may never even notice. To some, this is VALUE and what they've been looking for. They like the attention to detail, they like the full-service attention, and they want the assurance of one place taking care of things from start-finish, then holding their hand throughout the ownership experience should anything be needed.
Can that level of work be done for $3K-7K...who knows. IMHO, Going to a particular shop is like matching your personality with the guys running the shop. Another unique thing about how we do things at GP, we're in constant pursuit of perfection. Perfection is an illusion some of us blessed/cursed enough to chase. I personally push the envelope with every installation. Can I make that one cut even better or less noticeable? Can I wrap that edge that shouldn't be because others say it cannot be done? Can we make the film look more like the paint? These are some of the questions that I ponder daily and am never quite satisfied with everything. But guess what...in the end, that's what makes our work and passion differ from others. As much as these questions can be a real bother sometimes where it makes me want to pull my hair out, it's also the same questions that fuels our passion and pushes us to push the work we all do here at GP.
Sorry for the long rant...it's just I wanted some of you to "get" where guys like me come from. We don't do it for the money, well, a little since we all have families to care for and a future to build. We do it for the passion and a sense of self-fulfillment. When we did our first Tesla rear hatch, it took me several full pieces to get it right. The first Porsche Macan took us almost an entire roll of film and two full days to "figure" out. That's thousands of dollars of material and man hours before we got to a place we were happy with and deemed "GP Certified". It's that kind of R&D that is built into our cost structure. We make our dreams, and yours, materialize. That takes time and patience. And that costs money. But the result....well, hopefully you can see for yourself, whether you're fortunate enough to have used us, or know someone that has.
