I have a sebring silver. The film does stand out, but only if you walk close to it (or if your car is really dirty, since dirt does trap in that area). I'm starting to get used to it, although sometimes I still prefer the look of not having that film

I wouldn't mind putting the film on the whole front if the shop had such wide films.

I don't have any experience with any of the plastic coatings so I can't recommend a particular one.

Here is the link to Ultrashield. They use the 3M film. They are the first one that I heard of - about 5 years ago. There is a list of applicator locations on the site.

Not that great of a film compared to 3M or Avery top coated films. If that is all you can use then make sure you ask questions about the warranty, what it covers and what it does not. How far would you have to drive to a 3M dealer?It may be worth it in the long run.

I got the brocure it has a 5 year warrenty against cracking, peeling, bubbleing, dicoloring, and turning yellow. I would have to drive an hour to louisville which isn't that far and he was listed on the xpel site but I sent him an email and he never got back to me so that doesnt persuade me to drive that distance.

Try calling him if he gets as busy as I do with calls and customers, e-mail sometimes gets neglected a bit.

Im having a little trouble understanding the front bumper options, to do the whole front bumper it's 439? + 319 for the mirrors fenders and hood? thats 758$ i could almost get my hood and front bumper repainted for that price please tell me im seeing things? Not te mention im gonna have to drive an hour leave my car and drive back when it's finished. I think im gonna be forced to stick with the Clear Shield product the warranties the same 5yrs so im just going to have to see which installer im more comfortable w/ theres 3 in my area.

That's pretty steep. I paid about $600 CDN and have more coverage than that.
