Paint protection film installed...can't even tell it's there!!
All right, for those interested in seeing the results, I had the clear bra kit installed on my car today. I requested to have the following protected: hood, fenders, bumper (including headlight washers and tow hook hole cover), mirrors, headlights, and front side of the rear fender flares. The guy that does the work for me does such an amazing job that you can't even tell the film is there!
After all the spraying, the car needs a wash, but I have to wait 48 hours, and it's rainy in FL...still, it looks kinda clean |

You can see the edge on the first pic if you look close. Looks good to me.

I'm extremely loyal to this installer, and he has done 4 of my cars plus another car in the family, so I got a special deal due to the amount of business I have provided to him plus all the customers I send his way; but he has very competitive rates compared to everyone else, and his services + films are nothing but the best! Check him out: clearbraofjax.com Thank you |

Looks very good, I'm looking for some film at the moment as the rear arches seem to attract a few stones.

The one on my car is Xpel Ultimate, latest in technology and self-heals simply by parking the car in the sun/heat. To expedite the process simply pour warm water. Watch it work, it's fully transparent and amazing

SeriesStud - It looks like they didn't go very far up on the hood/fender. What size sheets does Xpel offer? |

I've read some awesome reviews of these guys on the m3 forum. They do a ton of full wraps, too.

WOW! I have done VentureSheild on the last 5 cars I've owned, but this looks promising! Cost relative to traditional 3M products?

Fairly similar cost relative to others. Xpel simply likes to advance technologically. I've had VentureShield, 3M (which later bought VentureShield), Avery Nano, ScotchGuard, Xpel (regular), and now Xpel Ultimate. All different cars of course!

Looks like you have some leads in the bay area, and is closer to you than the delta. FWIW Genesis in Sacramento seemed very experienced and responsive to questions when I contacted them -- I'm ultimately going there for clearbra (Xpel) and tint.
