I don't know of any (I live in CT) but if you're thinking of trying out Xpel, their site lists factory trained installers by area.

I had it put on my car by the NCM and wasn't happy with the installation (they didn't wrap the edges) and called Xpel directly. In two days they had me in a shop locally for a reinstall at no cost without any questions.

6 months later, after 8k miles and 6 track days, its still looking pretty

My son had it done on his 2013 Camaro SS and it turned out great by a shop in Bucks County Pa. I can find out where if you want to travel that far. Let me know.

Wrapping edges is not the standard... and in fact can lead to issues peeling down the road. That is why they don't do it at the museum because if the car leaves to an area that there are no installers and the film begins to lift there is no way to warranty the product. You are actually fortunate that Xpel covered the replacement of that as it doesn't state anywhere that edges will be wrapped and its definitely not a warranty issue.

I agree I was lucky it was covered and sorry if I made it sound as though wrapped edges were the only issue. There were bubbles in the nose piece and on mirrors, etc...as well as wrinkles from over heating the wrap.
The NCM had so many complaints about it from other people that they stopped offering the service for a couple of weeks until they found a new installer.

As far as edges being wrapped, again you're correct but perhaps not up to date on options Xpel has. When you visit a factory certified installer, they're given a database filled with cut specs and one option for a 2014 is "edges wrapped" which adds the extra length needed to the specific areas they recommend. BUT not all edges get wrapped.
An example would be the fender...the side by the door is wrapped as is the well and up to the hood but the area around the headlights is not

I have an excellent installer if you're will to travel to LINY.

I use Xpel cutting software as well as Suntek's. So I am familiar with what you are talking about. Yes the NCM was having install issues there. I saw a couple of cars first hand that the installs looked pretty bad. I guess if you have it done there you better plan on having an extra day to hang around just in case there are issues and it needs to be replaced. Once you leave you may be in an area where there are not any good installers to replace it.

Thanks...but if went way up there I may be tempted to get other stuff done while there....

Great work although I don't agree with custom cutting everything on the car. But I can tell by watching him that he does know what he is doing. On a side note they needed to get that water bubble out on the front drivers side rocker panel before shooting the video. It was obvious when the car was pulled out into the sun. Very minor just thought they would get that before putting it into their video.
