i have had Xpel on my car since week one ..... 4 + years now...

i would NEVER buy or paint a car again & NOT get this coverage.... next time i WILL get the FULL coverage for the hood i have SEVERAL little chips WELL past the USUAL line that Xpel or even extended coverage pieces will protect...& they **** me off !!

so, next time i will DEFINITELY get the ENTIRE hood covered.

Some other areas to consider...:

-Rear bumper across the top surface from tail light to tail light...
-behind wheel wells.... mainly Fronts
-Front & rear door edges
-at least 50% of the Front fenders or all that is visible from the front.....

How much of the film is showing on the door edge - 1/8", 1/4" ???

P.S. - Aren't you glad you didn't let LoG do the clearbra ???

What color fog overlay do you plan on getting? Francisco at AeroTect suggested YELLOW for crystal white. I went with BLUE. I haven't tested out the fog light yet....but he did warned me it's going to be brighter.

I am actually getting clear foglight overlay b/c i have 4500k hid foglights. I am still deciding if i want to get yellow for the look but i have to see what the final color will be because my hids give off a blue tint so i might end up with green fogs. Looks like i got till monday to decide. Hmm thx to Edgy I'm gonna ask about the rear bumper from taillight to taillight because i know that area is a problem area especially with a white car. I really hate those annoying black dots you get from dust and such in that area.
