Default Xpel installation

Picked up my NRB A8 3LZ 2 weeks ago. Because of the delay in the car being delivered (compared to what I was told to expect), I had to delay and reschedule the install twice, until yesterday, because the guy that did it is so busy.

When I picked the car up (2/26), there was still a little bit of salt or whatever they had put on the roads here, he showed me where the front tires had "thrown" some of that stuff against the body, right below the gas cap. He said it was a good idea to guard that area.

So, I had:
1. full coverage hood, fender and mirror
2. front bumper
3. headlight

$1,300.

BTW, he's done 5 other cars of mine. Highly recommend.

The guy (Derek) rents a portion of the work area of an auto repair business. The owner of the shop has a couple of his cars in the back and another is a friend's car (pics below).

My car was outclassed, $wise, but it was still my favorite of the group. OK, I'm biased...
