DFW Clear Bra on Hebron in Carrollton. They’ve done several of our vehicles and we couldn’t be happier.

Depends on the vehicle, but on their website they have a quote form you can fill out and they’re really quick about getting back to you.

I recommend Legend's Detailing, got my BMW wrapped there a few weeks back, did a heck of a job and was pretty affordable seeing that its a 'smaller shop'.

I’ve used Forcefield in Carrollton on previous cars with some success but recently used Xpel for my latest. Xpel did a fantastic job. Still shocked with how seamless the install is.

You need to specify the type of installation that you're looking for. Most shops these days use a "precut" method, where they use templates provided by the film manufacturer (possibly with some adjustments) to cut the film before it's on the car. This has the benefit of not risking scratches to your paint, but it does leave the edge of the film a few mm away from the edge of the panel in places where the film can't be wrapped around the edge.

The alternative is a "bulk" (or "custom") install, where large sheets of film are cut directly on the car. This method can almost completely eliminate visible edges, but it uses more material, and there is a risk of an unskilled installer scratching your paint when cutting the film. Bulk installation is more expensive, because of the additional material required and the need for a more skilled installer.

So before comparing prices you need to decide which method you want. Otherwise, you're comparing apples and oranges.

BTW, I used APEX in Addison. They did a full bulk install on my G80.
