I just got a quote from a local dealer in Alaska to do a matte finish paint X7.
- $2200 front end film
- $7000 full body film
- $600 full body 2-year ceramic coat

All in XPEL, to preserve the factory matte finish. Looking at $8k to do full body XPEL Stealth PPF, full body ceramic coat, and window tinting. Doesn't seem unreasonable for what it is. I'd want to be veeerrrrrrrryyyyyyy careful with the matte paint

Got a text from my dealer saying I'm getting one of 75 Dark Shadow editions, and asking if I had received a production date yet. So it seems they don't really know much more than me, unfortunately. I'm still not 100% sold on this.
That's awesome! Excited for you! Tbh, those prices in Alaska aren't very different than a top quality shop in the Northeast. Well worth it if you plan on keeping it for a while. Makes it easier to clean at least!

This is great though. Please do let us know what you're able to spec the car with outside of the bench vs. captains.
