Most truck owners ask for Full Front because that is the answer for a car. On a truck it usually is not. Here is the conversation we have with every truck owner after the quote goes out.
We film trucks at both shops: Monroe, off US-2 in Snohomish County, and Tukwila for the south end. Lifted trucks, duallys, work trucks and trail rigs are all routine for us, and the film is the same STEK DYNOshield with a 10-year manufacturer warranty whether you cover one panel or the whole truck.
What changes from truck to truck is the coverage. A flared half-ton with a high flat hood edge does not need the same film as a lowered street truck. A work truck that gets loaded every morning wears its tailgate and bed rails long before its hood. A truck that sees forest roads gets its doors keyed by brush. So we build coverage panel by panel, and partial coverage is priced as a fraction of the panel.
We serve Monroe, Snohomish, Everett, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Mill Creek, Woodinville, Duvall, Sultan, Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Auburn, Tacoma and the wider Puget Sound area. Call (425) 818-2820 and tell us how the truck is built and how you use it.
Often, no. Full Front is $2,000 for a car and $2,200 for a truck or SUV, and it covers the hood, fenders, front bumper, headlights and mirror caps. That is the right answer on a car. On a truck the front end is mostly grille, so there is far less painted surface up there to protect. If the hood edge sits high and flat instead of sloping down at the front, that edge is above the debris line and is not catching rocks the way a car's leading edge does. If the truck has fender flares, the flare is already taking what the fender would have taken. On a truck like that, several panels in a Full Front package are doing very little for the money.
Lower on the body and further back than people expect. Rockers and lower doors take gravel thrown off the front tires. The area ahead of the rear wheel arches takes it off the rears. Tailgates get scuffed by everything that gets loaded and unloaded. The top of the bed rails wears from reaching over them. And doors get keyed by brush and tree branches if the truck sees trails or brushy roads. That is the list we keep coming back to with truck owners.
Five questions. Does the hood slope down at the front, or is the leading edge high and flat? Does it have fender flares? Is the front bumper painted, and does it still have the factory bumper? Does it see trails, camping, or brushy roads? Is it a work truck where you reach over the bed rails? Your answers change the coverage more than the year, make or model does.
No. Partial coverage is priced as a fraction of the panel, so half a door, a section of a bumper, or an impact area on its own are all normal requests. That is what makes truck coverage worth building panel by panel instead of buying a package.
These are our SUV/truck panel prices: front bumper $800, hood $700, door $600 each, fender $425 each, rear bumper $700, truck bed $600 long or $500 short, top of cab $450, rocker $225, tailgate $250, rear fender $200, clear headlight lens film $175, mirror cap $90, cargo strip $85, A-pillar full $125, door cup $35, door edge $35, and rear impact area $50. Partial coverage on any of those is priced as a fraction of the panel.
Front bumper, tailgate and bed rails. That runs about $1,650 on a long bed or $1,550 on a short bed. It puts film on the three places a working truck actually wears: the bumper that meets the road, the tailgate that meets every load, and the bed rails you reach over.
Same starting point, plus lower door coverage or rockers, because that is where brush and gravel land. Since partial door coverage is priced as a fraction of the panel, you can cover the lower half of the doors rather than paying for the full door.
Usually not. The flare is already covering the part of the fender that gravel reaches, so filming underneath it is largely redundant. If the flare is painted rather than textured black, that is a different conversation, because then the flare itself is a paint surface worth protecting.
Only if it is painted, and only if the truck still has one. Plenty of trucks come in with a textured black bumper, or with the factory bumper replaced by an aftermarket steel bumper. Film does nothing useful on either. On a painted factory bumper it is one of the best panels on the truck to protect.
STEK DYNOshield, a self-healing, hydrophobic film backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Same film whether you cover one panel or the whole truck.
Yes. STEK DYNOshades Light Protection Film is $125 per pair for small lights and $175 per pair for large lights, whether that pair is headlights or taillights, and carries a 7-year warranty against delaminating, yellowing, bubbling and cracking. Washington limits anything that reduces the effectiveness of your headlights or taillights, so a tinted light film may not be street legal depending on the shade and the vehicle. Plenty of customers run it anyway, and the darker shades are best kept to show, track, or off-road use. Worth knowing before you decide.
Both shops. Monroe, off US-2 in Snohomish County, and Tukwila for the south end. Lifted trucks and duallys are routine for us in either bay.
