I had similar feedback from a suntek installer, he doesn’t do headlights anymore. He has seen spider cracks develop overtime. However xpel installer has headlights included in full frontal package, I’m not sure if I would do the headlights.

Yes, it is available now. My guy has it in stock, but any installer can order and get it quickly.

If you Know the installer that is the best way. If you don't how in the hell if I was getting my car wrapped in XPEL would know the difference if the installer was using leftover Xpel ultimate and charging us for Xpel ultimate plus??????

One can only hope they are installing the product that is listed on the invoice to the customer, how many installers would be interested in committing a fraud that way?

Say Yes to PPF
Absolutely not, ULTIMATE and ULTIMATE PLUS are very similar so you still have an excellent product.
It's available to installers now. They might already have some in stock in fact.

For those who commented on headlights...I've had the headlights done on my last three vehicles (Two 370Z's and the GS, all with Suntek), and never had any issues. I love that they are protected as well as the paint.

My installer mentioned that he once had a customer whose warranty for a dead headlight was denied because it had PPF on it. According to him, dealer claimed extra heat could have been a factor in the failure. It sounded as if GM asked the dealer about the presence of a PPF. Maybe that's BS, but it wouldn't have been the first time a claim was denied because of some sort of modification.
As a result of that experience, my very experienced installer no longer recommends headlight coverage.

Coincidentally, I received an email from an installer I've used for several of our cars. He was one of the first to open a business installing PPF more than 20 years ago, and is highly regarded by all the film manufacturers, and he works with all of them.
At any rate, he said he was one of 3, who were chosen by XPEL to evaluate this new product, and he said it was, by far, the finest PPF he's ever seen. I haven't done my new car yet, so I'm dropping it off this weekend for him to install the new "Plus" on my SO C7.

Be sure and post up a review once you've got it installed, ok? I had Expel Ultimate installed on my 2018 GS Vert before I drove it home from Bowling Green, but I'm curious to hear about the new Ultimate Plus.

I'm getting the XPEL Ultimate Plus installed on my car when it arrives (hopefully next week) - both shops semi-local to me are already carrying it (Detailers Domain in NJ and Automobilia Auto Salon in CT)

If I plan to Ceramic Pro 9H the whole car after XPEL install, would it matter which version to get? Any difference after ceramic application?
