Also, im not sure if i want to risk scratching my car while trying to get the vinyl fitted right.

You think I should still do it for $130? for all the windows and the trunk? They do have a good warranty unlike other places that say no.. And it is $60 bucks cheaper than the place i was going to do it at originally.. not to mention its the cheapest quote ive gotten for that kind of job so far. (thats why i was drooling over the $75 price you had earlier haha


Ill post pics of the painted grill when I get it back on thursday




the 07 model has the wider curve on the back window as well

call around..

I got a quote from a shop/guy in Alhambra for 80.00. I decide to go with DSG only cause he did my roof overlay, back then, and he's a cool dude.

I'll try and find that Alhambra guy for you.

side note:

I'm happy with my vinyl install but I give it a 8 out of 10. There is little things that bother me from the install.

Not to bash on Promax, but they dont do a really do good work. Had window tint installed there and it didnt come out that nice. They didnt cut the tint close to the window edges and they pushed all the window trim pieces in ( located on the bottom of the window, it has those lint looking thingy, i dont know what its called). I knew of someone who worked for them and said that when they get really busy they would rush everything and it doesn't come out clean.

That statement is not true. Quality work can be found at a low cost.

If the grill was to be made into an emblemless then yes, the $150 is reasonable when using high quality paint. I paid that much for mine. The vinyl, no not so much of a good deal.
