All the line items is similar to market rate in my area....
You're paying for skilled labor for this stuff.

For the other 2 quotes you presented, are those the other 2 closest Xpel dealers as well. In my region, Xpel tint and PPF are somewhat price locked...I've seen maybe a $75 difference on a full tint, and maybe $500-$600 max difference on full PPF. It may be different in yours, but it's basically a mandated price lock so the all shops are somewhat = in terms of Xpel product being installed.

I can justify 5% of the vehicle cost but at 12-13%, I’ll pass and select an installer that’s more in line with market rates in the area.

flawed logic.
the price/value of the vehicle doesn't change the labor or material costs by much.

If you have the same size vehicle and difficulty (curves).
Doesn't matter if one is worth $5k and another worth $100k.

The work is roughly the same.

It's the vehicle owner who has to decide if it's worth it.
Not the shop adjusting their pricing.

I didn’t infer the shops pricing was incorrect, or should be scaled to the value of the vehicle. I’m just saying that at this specific price point , I will not be selecting this particular shop for the job. They are clearly welcome to charge $9k, or 27k for that matter, however, I’ll go with something that I feel is in line with prevailing rates in the area, and what I’m willing to pay based on the value of the vehicle.

Yes, they are all within roughly a 35-45 minute drive.
