XPEL clear bra?

xGPx · 06-08-2012, 06:29 PM

I called a place to get clear bra on my Z and they quoted me $429 for the bumper and $279 for the hood, fenders and mirrors (bikini cut not full hood) + $50 for the installation. So I asked which brand they used and told me the best and highest quality out there called "Xpel ultimate" and it comes with 7yrs warranty. So I looked up the brand and this is what the prices are for my Z:

Pre-cut XPEL Paint Protection Kits

Basically I got the same part prices + $50 of the installation. Is this really a good brand? anyone used this before? and should I get the bikini cut or the full hood covered? thanks in advance

This is what I have on mine. No problems so far. Get the full hood done anything less you will regret.

I have used Ventureshield on 2 of my cars... One i had on for 5 years and it looked as good 5 years down the road as the first day..
Had my wifes car done in Ventureshield 8 months ago and it looks amazing.

Ventureshields is one of the strongest ones out there as well as having virtually NO orange peel look to it and ZERO cloudieness like some of the clear bras out there..

Google it you will see all the happy customers, also be sure you go to a reputable shop cause installation is half the battle
