Cost of a clear bra

Hi guys,
I did a search and came up with lots of threads that had the words clear and bra in them. Way too many.
So here's the deal. I contacted the 3M trimline guy in my area. He quoted me over a $1100 plus tax, for a full bumper, hood, mirrors, and part of the fenders. This was supposed to be at dealer cost ( cuz the body shop was giving me their discount), I think not . But maybe I'm wrong? So, what did you pay?
Thanks in advance.

I paid $410 plus tax for the same thing from 3M Trimline here in Halifax.

$725 for 3M Scotchguard brand film using a XPel template on the hood, fenders, bumper and mirrors. The film is applied in places that risk a direct hit, so it only goes about 40% of the way up the hood.

Thanks Deane,
I thought I could get it for about $500 if they truly gave me dealer cost. I could probably ship the car out to you and still be under the 1200 mark.

I think the going price in TO is about $600. Mine was less but the quality is also not what you see up there since they don't do many here.

Yup, that's what I want.
Thanks

Have any of you heard of this? The VentureShield is much clearer than the 3M and comes with a Lifetime warranty, as opposed to a 5year from 3M.
Thanks.

Spoke with Mario tonight aka Trova Fortuna and I'm going to go with his recommendation on the Venture Shield. I'm going to try to get it done at the body shop ( Queensway in KW ) that did (no pun intended) the G. I'm thinking of Sat. March 10. I'm also thinking maybe we could make this a mini meet. We could watch Mario work, talk, visit, eat, drink coffee, take pics. You know, the usual.
Interested?

I'm almost afraid to have Marco (I think his name is Marco btw Sam. ) look at my clear bra. He'll probably think it looks horrible!
