Mine's 3M and covers the bumper, half of the hood, half of the fenders and the mirrors. Their's might be better, don't know. Just posting up another option.

I work with this guy's wife on Nellis AFB. I recommended getting that kit to her, so it looks like she must of convinced her husband on that one.

Those are both rather high quotes. I was hoping for somewhere around $300

There's a shop called "Electrostatic Painting". They're pretty good (I've heard). "Capco" did my Hyundai rims. They came out nice but took a month to get back.

If I hadn't just sold my stock ones, I'd let you borrow them.

OT: Anyone local have any TPMS's for sale? Need all 4.

Just as an update, I had Derek remove do the work on the G a few months back and he did an excellent job at a great price. It's rare that you get that combination of quality and value.

Also, I'll most likely be taking my car to Corey at Ultimate Electronics to install some stereo equipment. I stopped by to chat with him today and I can tell he is extremely knowledgable and does quality work. Thanks for the recommendations, Mike!
