New Expel & Tint
Picked up my 2017 this afternoon after having Expel & window tint applied. I had them Expel the complete front cap, all ground effects, rockers, rear quarters, front pillars , & side mirrors. I think it came out pretty well

I like the "JAKE" a lot, but yes, putting the Expel over it, really made it pop off the hood. The installer did not want to do it, but I insisted on it, & after he agreed it was the right move............

Looks awesome!! Did you also add a ceramic or quartz coating on top of the wrap? And do you mind if I ask what you paid? I am looking to do this to my vette (paint correction, tint, full wrap, ceramic coating) and I wanted to see if I got a decent price quote. Also, I have a very similar setup with the center stripe (but mine is just the carbon flash stripe) and I am struggling with if I should have it removed before the wrap.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Looks like they did an amazing job! That is easily my second fav color. To the above poster, I did a dual coat of cQuartz Finest on top of the XPel some time ago and still swear by it. Include the rims with the cQuartz if you can as it makes them much easier to stay clean.

Looks really great, you will love the stress relief you will feel when you get behind some semi and you know you're not going to get all chipped
