It cost a small fortune, but then, I didn't try to negotiate - I just wanted it done. So, $750 CDN altogether.

The kicker is that on the ClearShield application, they couldn't do the nose piece around the grill as one piece, so they cut it. Now that doesn't bother me so much, but on one side the cut was so crooked, and left such a big gap, that from a distance it looked like a scratch. So I took it back at lunch time today, and complained that for $500 (the ClearShield portion) I expected a better job than I can do myself (and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have messed it up that badly). After I hinted that my showing off this job wasn't the best advertising Ziebart could have, they agreed to redo it - so I get it done next Monday.
