I guess everyone talked me into it because I have an appointment in a couple of weeks to get an expel film installed. The guy is the Lexus recommended person for this in my area. I feel pretty comfortable with the 10 year warranty and he definitely seems to know what he's doing. he also said he will just cut the film a little big and wrap it around body panels so I won't have issues with dirt getting caught on the edges and being visible.

I'm shopping around in the Austin area for an installer, too. My '15 UW/Black IS350 FS should be here in the next week or so... and this is the FIRST thing I'm doing!

You guys are such a wealth of knowledge!

Just have your paint polished before the install, to ensure perfect paint and reflection underneath. Lesson learned for me:) and DO NOT let the dealer wash your car or take the wrap off. Just tell them to give it too you as is.YOu can pull the wrap off yourself.

Good to know. I'll actually be getting the Xpel installed at an Xpel dealer - not the Lexus dealer.

Thanks for the info :thumbup:

As with anything in life you get what you pay for that also includes a clear bra. I have Suntek and it is nearly impossible to tell if its on completely clear and also is self healing. I also put Gtechniq all over my car as well as the PPF

I have it half way up my hood, full front, lights, mirrors and door cups.

Getting Xpel clear bra put on my UW F-Sport today by the guys at Dynamic Autoworks here in Houston. I'm impressed by how unnoticeable the film is on the car, more pics of the Xpel film being installed on their facebook: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...16286541923967

Well this has been on my mind pick up my 3is uw fs from the dealer 3 weeks ago. Quick question do you go to the website from xpel and find a local vendor. Or go to the dealer and ask them for recommendation. I want this on now lol

Here she is with my Xpel auto armor. The installer did an awesome job and I'm really happy with it.
