Terrible place to put a pole. I'd back her in.

Looks good though!

How much was the Xpel?

A local installer here wanted $1k for full bumper, partial hood, partial fenders, mirrors and rocker panels.

1300 for everything i listed.

Full hood,
Full bumper (even the head lamp washers are wraped),
Full head lights,
All door cups,
Mirrors,
Tints all around but front,

Everything Xpel Ultimate... the self healing makes it SO easy to wash... All I need to clay are fenders and doors when I detail.

if you subtracted the tints it'll be right around 1000, but... halfway looks crappy. get full hood, and no fenders... when was the last time you got a rock chip on your fenders?

Will the xpel stop door marks caused by people opening their doors into yours if applied on the door panels?

PPF isn't designed to prevent door dings.

I also have the Xpel Ultimate and it works great. When it scraped against the side of the garage door, all it did was mar the coatings and it also came out with no damage to the body.

I had Xpel on the front and halfway up the hood of my SC430. It worked great.
