Use the dealer locator at www.xpel.com - they show the dealers in Calgary, including the top-ranked one (which I used). They should be the best reference for finding an installer!

Regards,
Gordon

you can try Trimline Vancouver, that's where I got it done
BUT..... I have 2 bubbles in my headlight (small ones, but still....)
on the other hand, they said it was semi difficult cause it was the first time they did an 8, so yours might turn up better since they had practice on mine :p
also, don't know if the guy was joking but he said it was so much harder than expected that he's gonna charge the next guy at least 200 bucks more cause he had no idea how difficult the lines on the 8 was

The significance:

3M Scotchguard Paint Protection

Rotary Titus:
How much did they charge you.... and bubbles aside, is noticeable (meaning can you actually see the film)?

Thanks.

they charged me 716 tax included and everything and it's the headlights, foglights, upper and lower bumper (though mine doesn't have the front air dam) but like that said the price might be higher cause the guy now know how hard the job is :p
bubbles aside, it's not noticeable about 3 feet away and even then you'd have to expect to look for it
but it's a bit of a pain whenever I wax it cause it gets caught at the edges and I have to go over them with a towel other wise it becomes much more obvious as you see a line along the edge from the wax.
so far so good, it's saved me probably more than one dent already cause when I drove down to the states last time I heard quite a few thacks and only slightly smudged the film which buffed off with a towel. without it I'm sure my hood would have a few more dings
