    Brake caliper painting?

    removing them, you are looking at 12-1500 or so from a shop to have them powdercoated and a few days downtime. (basically doing a brake job at the same time) paint, its a day turn around and results are going to be 90% of what a PC job will yield since its not possible to paint them on the car...

    Vendor Importance of Clear Bra protection

    Correct. Although numbers are not 100%, but the gist of it is true...clear bra saves the paint time after time after time!

    Vendor Importance of Clear Bra protection

    For many of you on the fence on the value, here is a legit reason why Clear bra is well worth it! We installed the Full Body Model S clear bra about 8 or 9 months ago. He was the victim of a hit n run in a parking lot. Had he not had clear bra, it would be an estimated $3000 and he would be...

    SF Bay Area Full-Coverage PPF quotes and experiences

    the coatings have been tested by suntek films and does not hinder the performance of the film in any way...so coating on top of the film will add additional gloss, easy cleaning, car will stay cleaner longer as dirt and grime will not stick as easily, nor as strongly. 5k for a one step and full...

    What happens if I take the Toll Roads in my new car without plates??

    I see what you are saying, I really do. But what is your time worth? Sitting in court for a ticket for 4 hours is a complete waste of time. Imagine having to do that 6 times a year...24 hours...I spend about 200 a month on tolls...the 2400 I spend is a write off anyway, and 24 hours is...

    Pearl White Xpel Stealth and Chrome Delete

    stealth is more expensive in material costs Install HAS to be custom, kits will not cut it. This means the install will take longer. Charging more for stealth is not just a profit grab.
  24. Envious Eric

    Help me decide ... Red MX: Xpel Ultimate (Clear) or Xpel Stealth (Matte)

    Clear bra is WAY more expensive than a coating...like 5-10times more. IMO,; go glossy on red. blue stealth looks good, black stealth, even white stealth. But something about red screams max out the gloss

    Comparing PPF/Ceramic options in San Diego

    Cost of a full PPF wrap?

    It really depends on the quality of the install, seamed kit or 1 piece front bumper with no seams, one piece full mirrors, kit on the rest of the car, removing emblems and reinstalling, 1 piece rear hatch or kit two piece, kit cut or all custom/bulk, paint correction prior (yes you need at least...

    Tint recommendations in OC? I have quotes for from $365 to $660 for LLumar CTX

    We are at 700-1200 for the Model 3. Why? the rear window is done in one piece, not two pieces. That is a HUGE piece of film. We shave edges, we don't use a plotter to cut. The shaved edge is about 1/32" off the edge (essentially no edge) you can roll windows down next day no problem we take...

    What happens if I take the Toll Roads in my new car without plates??

    I should have stated must have a transponder with NO PLATES OR PAPER PLATES... If you have plates, then they can send you a ticket in the mail, or attach the fine to the registration plus fees, or you can pay the fine online as they will have your plate number on file. Its just how it works

    What happens if I take the Toll Roads in my new car without plates??

    if you go through without plates, you either A=get free pass or B=get a ticket. There is no other way around it. The CHP have pulled me over a few times for doing just that when I purchased my car new. Paper plates or no plates, same thing. You HAVE to have a transponder, or you are facing a...

    San Diego XPEL/Suntek install recommendations

    Front bumper is a must on these cars! We have done about 12 of the model 3 cars. I would definitely use Suntek over Xpel. The grainy/hazy look of xpel is more noticeable on darker colors, but overall, suntek is more optically clear and glossier. We recently showed a client the new Xpel...
