Not even. Many shops have decent rates for PPF in the NoVA area.
Just went back through my emails 'cause TBH I couldn't remember. That was $10k for the entire vehicle, $3k for the front. These were the type of estimates I was getting:

The email address was "Profilm". Just going through old emails; another company ("Detail Authority") quoted $2726.60 for front, other companies (F1 Auto Detail, Xotic Auto Spa) wanted me to call them, etc. I think basically I just googled "PPF near me" and sent quote requests to the top bunch that came up.

I hate places that say "call me and I'll take care of you". One, because I don't have time to sit around on the phone, and two, because I know d*** well you ain't gonna "take care of me", LOL. At one point I did have it on my Rivian order but it got dropped when I selected a vehicle from the shop instead.

All the shops you mentioned definitely have the highest price in the area. They definitely do great work, but there are many other shops in the area who can deliver the same quality (if not better), for much better rates.

Which probably explains why they came up in top google search results. Charging that big money so they can get #1 on google. Maybe I should've scrolled on to page 2... LOL. ?

The claimed range reduction is 30miles(50km) not 50 miles. Changing to All season will improve this, I am getting 300+ miles on the 20"AT with mixed hwy & mountain pass driving..
Could stay with 21" & use the savings for aftermarket or take off 20" (20" offer more rim protection)
i would keep the underbody shield after seeing some of the unprotected damage reports, I would also go with the floor matts.
Looks like closer to 50 miles (47) to me at least on the configurator...:

If you change anything does the price update? That's such a great deal if the pricing is locked in.

I would add all weather floor mats.
Like others have said you want the 20" wheels for more tire options, more so than the AT tires, which you won't need unless doing serious off roading. Check out the thread on the Pirelli Scorpion AS tires swap. 275/60/20.

20” All terrain, ocean coast interior and underbody shield.

PPF at a local shop after you get three quotes and check out their shop / completed work.
