Has anyone done business with these guys before?

Was looking into having this done and what to make sure, if possible, that I'm using the right stuff.

Well, I have an Xpel kit. The install was okay, not great, not poor. Plus I over paid a little. But I can rationalize it because I'd much rather have one than not. It's saved my front end and hood from many rock chips and debris damage. After almost two years now, I think I'm going to have it replaced because I want the OEM front lip (AP2). If you're anything like me (anal about keeping your car in great shape) then you should get one. Just shop around for a good price and good installer.

 

Make sure you do it sooner not later before get rock chip or sand blast then you have to touch up before do the clear bra. I did my car when it only 1 week old.

 

Are there other compnies that use 3m products or is this the only one. I've found one Xpel authorized/trained installer but that's it and he's asking naerly 600.00 for the job.

 

There are many companies that use 3M film. I used one called Clear Armor.

I now use this film on all of my new cars.

 

I just ordered my lip, and when it arrives, I am touching up and getting the clear bra!

 

I went with a place that didn't use a kit. They custom cut the film on the car, and did an awesome job using 3M film. Got the whole front end done, plus mirrors, plus window tint for around $550 if I remember correctly.

 

So the pricing seems to be in order...I know if I don't get the stuff we're gonna wind up getting rock chips for sure. I guess I just need to go ahead and do it and be done with it.

 

My wife and I have had 3M/Xpel installed on our last four cars. While it isn't cheap, and the skill of the installers hasn't been consistent... it is worth every penny.

$600 for the install isn't great, I think I've heard of them going for around $500. On the other hand, I paid $650 for an "extended" kit that covers higher up on the hood, headlights, mirrors. It was also important that the installer had considerable experience, and he gave us a good price break when Xpel'ing our truck a few weeks later.

I drive over 100 miles a day on the freeway to/from work, so Xpel has really saved the front end and mirrors of my S2K from numerous rock chips. After the first few front-end chips on my Z3 I really regretted not having the clear bra installed.

XPel is highly recommended.

 

I went with a 3M kit. The install was great and it really works.
