Really, Joe didn't even remember. Thats strange. Maybe it was because my friend was there. He goes to Joe ALOT. Sorry to hear that. Will talk more offline about the xpel. There are ALOT of other companies that use the SAME EXACT material as xpel and charge ALOT less that xpel does. Xpel is a rip to me, they mark up the 3m portection like crazy.

pic 4: This is the deceiving shot. From the front where the impact too place, you can only see some hair line crack and the foglight is aiming downward.
