So far very pleased with the purchase minus the following:
-Lack of options for crossbars for panoramic roof
-Lack of ability to control temperature in the rear vents (correct me if I a wrong)
-You have to slam each door, compared to my Audi and MBZ where you can close with ease
I will post some pictures when I get the car back, it is in for opticoat, xpel, and tint. I haven't let the wife drive it unless really REALLY needed and it has been in detail shop for almost a week. 450h is Matador Red similar color to the XC90 that it replaced. Should get back tomorrow and pictures will follow :-)

POST THOSE PICTURES!!! I want to do all these things exactly.
Are you in CA? Where are you getting all these done and how are the rates? You could PM if you'd like.

- did you apply xpel in front grill . because my dealer said that he can't apply xpel in the front grill of my f sport 350 .

called a couple of places and NO, they do not cover the f sport mesh grill. Most likely because it would be ridiculous to cover that haha. I wish they would though. I'm sensing a future of many rock chips.
No pictures yet, its been raining since we got the car back and on the 1/2 days that it hasn't been raining we have been asked not to wash it in the first week to 10 days so everything can dry and firm up. That being said it still looks really good, the Xpel / opticoat repel the rain & dirt very well but I have not had the opportunity to take some good outside pictures, sorry. My car is not an F sport, its just the 450, however the detailer was unable to do the grill surround (chrome trim area around the grill) I asked he did say that its not really needed since chrome is a harder surface than the paint and that it would be very difficult and probably have lots of cuts in the film? I am in Northern Cal Sacramento area and I got an ok deal, xpel on full hood, fenders, front bumper, lights, fog lights, mirrors, & door handles. The opticoat was full car and glass, also got full ceramic window tint, 70% full front window, rear, rear sides, the driver & passenger are 50% so a little darker but not much. I just ordered the K1S dual camera for the car, its amazing how people see that new car paper plate and will cut you off because they know you are going to be extra cautious... we go back to detailer on Tuesday for its checkup and hopefully will have a clean car with pictures by Wednesday?

thanks man sounds good
did you have them put the opticoat on first and THEN the xpel? or the xpel then opticoat?
