Calgary auto detail shops: Need protective film for front bumper of '09 Fit.

So I just ordered an '09 Fit Sport MT (Black), should be here in a few weeks. I of course passed on the usual over-priced and (mostly) un-necessary dealer options. (window etching, nitrogen-filled tires, grossly-over-priced floor mats, etc.)

But one option that I'm looking to acquire elsewhere for a more down-to-earth price is that 3M (or similar) clear film coating that is applied to the front of the car to guard against stone chips. Where in Calgary can I have this done, and at what cost?

Call up Icon Auto and talk to Damien, he can give you a quote for the 3m film.
I've used him for all my tinting and 3m needs.

and i might suggest you getting the foglights done in the Richochet film. As they are glass they take one good rock and they goes $250 for a replacement one.

As for your mats, $110.00+ TAX and i have them here

Interesting.... I was going to pick up a set of all-weather mats from Canadian tire. Are yours specific to the Fit?

Thanks for the info btw. I've give them a call.

Works at Honda, eh? Which dealership and which department? Always good to have someone on the inside to deal with.

Quote received was $429 for the bumper, $209 for the hood, fenders and backs of mirrors, and $128 for A-pillars, forward part of roof and doors. Plus GST. Total including tax = $804.30. Ouch.

I can see getting the bumper and hood area done, as my Fit will prove. I cannot see the need for the rest of the covering as there seems to be no damage from the 30,000K I have on my Fit. The fog lamp covering would be a good deal.

The floor mats are needed from Honda, they clip in and nothing else works right. Canuck Tire will not have anything worthwhile.

Cheers.
