Default Xpel - protection

I drive 30-50 miles a day on the highway.
As soon as I got the car - I detailed it and sent it to my installer to get the 3M xpel clear bumper / hood / light / mirror kit installed.

$500 installed

the good thing about having a silver car is that the kit blends right in.

Nice pics of it. I've been contemplating it too. I drive about 60 miles on the highway 3 days a week. I already have many knicks/scratches/chips in my bumper from rocks. The car is only 2 months old...


Did you buy the kit online? I saw the one on ebay for $200 and was contemplating it. I have no clue how much it would be to have it installed. I'm not good with vinyl and products like these.

I bought it from the local installer. I know the guy since this is the 4th time he's putting on a clear bra for me.

The kits sold online are the same kits, but the install is not easy (at least for me)

Yes.
It won't peel off sitting in the sun. (last car was in AZ heat and no problems)
there is no kit for the entire hood - just half or 1/4.
