Hi. Looking to get a front end bra installed in the city of Boston area. Just got a quote for $2k for Xpel full front end only (full hood, bumper, side view mirrors, etc). Experiences or feedback on price? Thanks so much!

The best guy (imo) in our area used to be North East Auto Salon, but sadly the owner passed away. They did a few of my new cars, and they were very, very good.

I've used Automotive Elegance in Andover for my Camaro a few years, and they did a pretty nice job. That's probably closer to you than my next suggestion.

I haven't gotten my 991.2 yet, but I will be calling Automotive Elegance and Zak's Auto, which is *very* close to my house. If Zak's has the kind of reviews for ppf that they have for repair and tuning, I'll probably end up there because I could walk home if needed

Try Rick at Ultimate Detail or Q Car Care

FYI I took my 2008 Cayman S to Zak's for a post-purchase inspection and was not impressed at all, which sucks because they have a nice waiting room and it's really close to my house. The tech didn't know about any of the common issues with the car, and missed some big issues (rodent nest in intake, broken clutch cables that had been clamped back together, too much silicone used in attaching deep sump kit). I ended up taking it to KMC in Lawrence even though it's a long drive and was much happier with the service there.

Q Car Care - Burlington...did great work, was very responsive and the price was just right

I used Automotive Excellence last week for my 996. They fit me in quickly and did a very nice job.

Anyone have any recent experience with getting their cars front end PPF'd in the area? What was the cost and what was the PPF manufacture? I have a quote for $1200, out in another state, for an XPEL front end job (fenders, hood, bumper - mirrors and lights are already done) on a 996 I am buying. Should I wait until the car is shipped here?

Last November I brought my car to Darien Detail in CT. They offer a Drivers Pkg which includes full front Xpel, rocker panels plus a swath behind the rear wheels. Price including tax $3,600. I'm tight with a dollar and felt it was worth every penny. My advise, just go to the best shop you can find.

AutoNuvo in Holliston did the PPF on my 2013 4S. This is the 2nd car they have done for me and both came out great.

I also used Q Car Care in Burlington. Full Xpel wrap. Great work and excellent customer service.

if you go on to the Xpel website I doubt you can even buy the pre cut templates direct for that price.

As some one else said, go with the best place you can find. I let some kid do mine because he was available and I needed it done, and the guy with the great reputation was booked out for 6 weeks…tells you all you need to know.

needless to say the kid who could take my car right away, did a terrible job. He ended up having to redo it multiple times before it was acceptable

There is a lot of terrible wrappers / Detailers out there who are big on the sales pitch but badly lacking in skill

dont go with someone to save a few hundred or whatever, find the best guy locally or don’t bother doing it at all. It won’t look right

Darien Detail has done paint correction and full car xpel on two cars (997 GT3RS and 982 GT4RS) for me and is about to do a third (997 GT2). Can't recommend them enough. If you can swing bringing your car down there, it's 1000% worth it.

100% agree - DD just did my Aston Martin Vantage - would not go any place else.

See Dirk at Darien Detail. The right PPF installer is more important than anything else.
