Default A few pics w X-pel Ultimate and tinting.

Had the car up in Ellicott City, MD getting X-pel Ultimate, Gtechniq finish and 30% Llumar ceramic tint done. Also had the entire car professionally buffed and polished. I pick it up in the morning. It should shine even more by tomorrow morning. Notice the lack of emblem in the first pick. They remove it to apply the X-pel and replace it with a new one. No seams!













Sunday I put in the Carbotech pads and if time allows lower it. I also have the CF console and door piece from APSIS to install.

Looks Great! I believe he's the same guy I'm calling Monday. Brian, the detail guy works with this guy and comes to Brians place in Foresthill Md. to apply the film. What did you have covered? I would like this guy to cover my side skirts and splitter first before I put them on and then it depends on how costly the rest of the car will be. I mainly want the front bumper and headlights done. Did you wait with the car or drop it off? Thanks Doug

That looks great. I'll be looking forward to hearing how happy you are with the tint job. I need to get my windows tinted and I could use a good referral.

Absolutely a beautiful car. Love the close-up of the Z51 wheels - they look great.

Wheels looks perfect. Even the center cap logo is pointing to the valve stem
