Dealer or body shop?

I got a couple of quotes on doing to clear bra. The dealer quoted me around 1100 while the local body shop with certified pros is around 800. I think that is easy call right? The body shop? Sorry if the questions seems silly, but really have not had any experience with body shops for these stuff. So better check with you folks then be sorry later.

BTW, I shouldn't have this done on a rainy day right?

The dealer outsources the job to someone else anyway. Go to the shop but check for a couple of references first. Ask them for contact info of jobs they've done in the area (Porsches or other sports cars, preferably), call them, and/or take a look. Or at least take a look at some cars that they had just finished in the shop. Don't worry about the rain. Hopefully they have an indoor facility, and they'll know what and when to do if they're real pros. Btw, they keep spraying water when applying the film.

Just curious, what (panels) did the $800 quote include?
Good luck.
