can't wait !!! Set an appointment with a local installer who is contracted with Expel.com Can't wait !!!

 

Good luck with the install. I'd recommend adding a few pieces right behind the front wheels and just ahead of the rear wheels to keep away those rock chips from your front tires.

 

how much does this cost?

 

You won't regret having a clear bra. I had mine installed 3 years ago and I've got plenty of pock marks in the clear bra that saved the paint below.

Make sure that you go with an experienced installer. The one I used was experienced, but not with heavily curved surfaces and he took some shortcuts that I'm not very happy with. He had so much trouble doing my car that he turned down requests by other S2000 owners.

As far as cost - that depends on where you live. You're better off asking this question in your regional forum.

 

The whole setup with the extended hood kit ran me $550 installed ($50 gas card incl. ) and the guy just did a 06 in Laguana Blu last week anyway, he has been doing it for a few years now...I will keep you guys posted !!!

 

anyone know how easy this stuff is to take off if i ever need to? i'm guessing that mine will look beat up after a few more years.

 

is this the 3m stuff or some generic brand?

 

If he gets the 3M product it's easy enought to remove, I replaced mine after 4 years (wanted a new kit with no seam lines) and it came of with about 10-15 min worth of work.

 

keep us posted....some pics after the install would be nice also.....I'm thinking about installing it on my car aswell....




Peace

I had my Laguna Blue S done recently in Orange CA (Ultimate Autocare) and Sean did an excellent job. This is truly a labor intensive process for a good job and as posted above the bumper/spoiler on our cars is not easy. I think Xpel rates the bumper at its highest difficulty rating. He really had to mold and shape the material quite a bit on the bumper but it came out great!

I have had my last three cars done (04 Acura TL, 04 350Z and now my S) and I wouldn't be without it. My drive to work is filled with gravel trucks and although my winshield is quite pitted on the TL, my paint is still perfect.

I went with the 3M material on my S. It has a more glossy finish, but with a little more "orange peel" look. Overall it looked best out the three materials he offers. I think you can choose from 3M, Venture or Dennison, all with their own positives and negatives.

If you are in or near the Orange County area, I would definately look this guy up. The collection of pictures from his work is mind blowing. He has done a large number of unbeleivable exotics and he appears to have many repeat customers.
