I know it's silly, but man what a protection!

The stuff is just about bullet proof. The installer had samples; on sheet metal and off. It was amazing how it reacted to the abuse he put it through.
I knew that if I had waited a couple of years, it wasn't going to do me much good to protect a pitted out front.

Hmm, my Xpel clear bra has a smoother texture, and is warranty covered from peeling, yellowing, tearing, anything really, for 7 years. And it was $600 installed.
Problem is, not available everywhere. 3M has better name recognition, but I saw a car in the shop when deciding between the two. Not pretty after 3 years.

The guy I used for my cars only installs Xpel premium...looks great and had it on my 06 GT for 5 yrs now...and I did really ask him about covering my whole Shelby with it...he said would be $2500-3000 but who knows how well it would look...would be a difficult install in a lot of areas...
