I had it installed right after purchase. It was installed in my garage by a certified installer for 700.00. It came out flawless...

Most installers seem to charge similar amounts for the standard "precut" front end package (partial hood, partial fenders, complete front bumper), so be sure to shop the installer by reputation. It's easy to go custom and get extras which add up quickly. I no longer remember what comes with the standard package but you should consider doing the A-pillars and the mirrors also. I'm having the side skirts and rear bumper cover wrapped soon on my car.

Venture is the best quality film that can full wrap the hood. 3M doesn't make film large enough for full hood wrap. It's good, but the pores are slightly larger than 3M. You'll want to use clear wax and sealants for it or you'll experience slight discoloration as the wax gets trapped in the pores. I've seen this happen, even with white carnauba waxes on white cars (ie: Dodo Juice light fantastic).

There's a few wrap shops in socal I'd recommend....Premier Mobile Group in Orange (expensive, but very professionally done), Spal Shield in Walnut (middle of the road, but still quality job), and Magic Film in Garden Grove (about same as Spal Shield, but are running a near 50% off special right now).

Not going to do the full hood, so you recommend the 3M instead then
since the pores are smaller with 3M?

Do you have tel# and how much they would charge?
Thanks

yeah, having compared the two on a few cars, I'd recommend 3M over Venture.

Magic Film
7215 Garden Grove Blvd Unit H
Garden Grove, CA 92841
714-898-0888

The special their running is $350 (normally $650) for Bumber, Partial Fender, Partial Hood, and mirrors.
