Going For 3M Tomorrow

Taking my car to go in for 3M tomorrow for the following:
-Hood (24")
-Headlights
-Fog Lights
-Bit Of The Fender
-Front Bumpers
-Mirrors

For $600 Cash

Is there any other body part I should be getting 3M'D? I asked for the top of the windshield he said another $20. Also anything I should be checking for when they do the job. They did a great job on my past 08 C.

Thanx

It doesn't matter how much you have done, you'll still get stone chips! I think the only way to avoid them in Alberta is to cover the whole vehicle in plastic...

I do the rear door sills as well, as I have a large dog whose claws scratch the paint as she gets in and out of the vehicle. If I didn't have her, I don't think I'd bother with those bits.

ML320CDI 2008 all options inc air suspension
I did the front end of mine but not the headlights or fogs. I did the whole front bumper and the hood strips as well as mirrors and the 2 strips beside the windshield. Who is your installer please? I had mine done in Camrose.

The Tint Factory worked on my car. The price I got was because I got 3M and Tint done on my 08 C. I did everything stated above payed like $50 extra tho for the fog lights and headlights. I thought it was in the price of $600 but I was wrong. He said don't worry about the windshield and the rear bumper because It has some plastic stuff on it. Spend that money else where. I was thinking of getting Tint applied on it even though the rears are a bit tinted. I don't want people seeing the rear entertainment system. He said he'll hook me up with a job on all windows. I will post pics of my new ride in a few days when the snow clears a bit

Malcoms garbage in the morning I was going to go threw them for the hell of it. I called 2 times the person wasnt there to give me a quote. I call 8:30am then open 8:00 nobody answered on the same day tint factory was going to do it. In the post above yours says I went with the tint factory. He is the one who does David Morris's and did my C Class with 3M and Tint which was good. Malcoms $600 quote he would give me that price with all my windows tinted lol.

I dunno maybe because he does the dealers cars and is close to the same price as his. Call him up saying how much for a 3M and tint for an ML. He gives out great prices because he only takes cash.
