The prices on the website are retail pricing for the kits, installers usually have a plotter and the kits are cut on a roll of film from our DAP system. That way they fit the car precisely and there is NO cutting the film on your vehicle As far as pricing goes, this is a generic pricing guide...as prices can vary depending on your area. For a list of all the installers in your area, you can always check our XPEL Dealer Locator For a partial front end. This includes 18-24” up the hood and fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. This ranges from $795 - $1,000. Option1_BikinHoodFendersMirrorsBumper.jpg For a full front it can range between from $1,795 - $2,100. This includes the entire hood and front fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. Option2_FullHoodFendersMirrorsBumper.jpg For the full car it can range between from $1,795 - $2,100. This includes the entire hood and front fenders, front bumper, mirrors, doors, body, rear bumper, roof(if applicable) and sometimes headlights. Option3_CompleteCar.jpg

thats the major factor to overcome is the initial price point, many people argue against clear bras and rather get a re-spray every few years. IMO no matter the price XPEL Ultimate is worth every penny. As to those prices I cannot remember how much I actually paid but I personally would suggest finding a shop that uses full sheets vs precut.
Once again I firmly stand behind full vs bikini, its just me, if you keep the line clean I guess its not as noticeable but still not a fan.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I'm going to go with 3M Ventureshield as I can't afford to spend nearly double on XPEL, even if it is a bit better. From other forums I've seen good things about 3M Ventureshield as well (posts from people with Porsches, Corvettes, etc) Now I'm paranoid driving until I get it installed on Thursday. Am I better off taking roads versus the highway to get to work? I'm staying away from trucks currently on the highway. I don't drive that much slower on the non-highways and if anything there might be more road debris than on the highway.. |

I'll never just do a portion of my car. Next time, it's clear bra on the entire car.
I did front bumper and 1/3 hood and rocks seem to skip the first 1/3 and hit the 2/3 and then they also hit the doors, etc. Will be pricey, but worth it to keep scratches off of my paint. Will make washing easier too. ![]() |

For everyone considering using blue painters tape, we actually sell a product called TracWrap. Its 9 mil thick, where as blue painters tape is usually 1-2 mil thick. I don't know if you'd be able to get your hands on it before your installation, but its a great temporary product.
TracWrap is a temporary, clear film that protects your vehicles paint while driving to a car show, at a track event, in tow, and more. Using an air channel adhesive the user can install this product wet, dry, in the wind, and on the spot. Its a great alternative to blue painters tape, and much thicker, plus not to mention less visible. TracWrap is made with a special adhesive so you can pull it off without leaving bits of plastic or glue behind. For more information about TracWrap click: Temporary protective film you can install like a professional...TRACWRAP by XPEL protective film To purchase TracWrap please click: Buy: Tracwrap | Products TracWrap.jpg
