Default Just got XPEL

Just got back from San Antonio headquarters for XPEL. Did a front bumper and partial hood, headlights and mirrors. Had them put XPEL on the door sills as well.

They did a very good job, there were a couple/three tiny rock hits despite me keeping large separation between me and other cars and only 550 miles on the odo counting 320 from the selling dealership but none of them were big deals. Don

Nothing to show, you can’t see the seams unless you’re very close. Don

To recap, they did the front end, partial hood, headlights and mirrors. Price was $895 minus a 10% discount for retired military.

What solved the problem for you with the seat? Taking the car in tomorrow, they have the part/parts in. Hope all will be fixed. Don

At first they ordered a switch. The switch alone didn't work and they had to get another part to go in combination with the switch. Not sure if it was a sensor type part or what but it took more than one item to solve the problem.

Ok. So every time someone puts something on their car they should post that they added something w/ no pics? Anyways, whatever, enjoy it.

They are great people there. They have done 3 cars for me. They will also be doing my '15 when she arrives. Every time I'm there it looks like an exotic car lot!
