I bought my expel wrapp in Mahwah NJ. It was definitely worth the investment. My car is Long Beach Red Metallic and shines better than new.

I'm located in Western MA. Can recommend installer without hesitation. The are not in your area, but a doable distance nonetheless, if you need a great job. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss.
I live in western PA....same job in my area is in the $4500 range on a C7 coupe.

Like said the range for PPF varies on the market for it and where you live I've seen anywhere from $4000-$7000 in the Chicagoland area for an entire wrap ,including splitters, spoilers rockers, vents etc. Remember the installer is 100% critical when having PPF installed. That's what makes one better from the other. I used Chicago Auto Pros[ great youtube channel] best in the Chicago land area. The PPF is the same know matter where you go. Intaller, Intaller Intaller!!!!!!

sorry, I meant Eurotech 201-529-1860. The tech that I had did an excellent job. There are now different techs and I don't know how they are.

Anybody near Louisville KY (150 mile radius) have this done & if so who did it? There are four dealer/installers here but I am looking for references.

Yeah, mine was not perfect either. I have a bubble in the hood scoop and 1 corner has lifted. Danik said that he would change out the hood scoop piece not sure if the corner can be fixed. It probably has dust under it and won’t adhere properly. Overall,I have piece of mind and the car looks great.

Paid $3,899.00 to have xpel installed on everything aside from trunk and top half of doors. This price also included having the entire car wheeled out and ceramic coated with SB3.

I love how it turned out, and honestly ... driving around in Michigan without it would not be nearly as enjoyable.

Ok, Maybe I can get some questions answered. I plan on having my 19 Black Z06 Xpel wrapped come spring. Anyone that had the full body wrap done did the installer also wrap the side skirts and front splitter? Also I have ACS XL rock guards on my car because I was not planning on getting it wrapped. So are they really needed if you do full wrap. If not I will put my oem’s back on. Or did anyone just let them on and they wrap them too. Also is it better if you plan on changing your side skirts and front splitter to stage 2 or 3 just don’t have them wrap those areas? I plan on just leaving the front splitter and side skirts on for now. Might have them changed out come August when I go to Carlise. Just want to check and see what other guys are doing. Any help appreciated.

I just had mine wrapped with Suntek. I only did Front half including splitter and after that ceramic coated the whole car with ceramic window tints and ceramic front windshield too... the car is sooo much cooler now under the sun, although the roof emits some heat but nothing like before.
Expect to pay the $1500-2000 for front end or about $5k for the full plus another $1k for the ceramic coating.
I am very happy I did it!

5K for complete Xpel and Ceramic Coat on a ZO6/Z07. When installed by an authorized dealer, after you register with Xpel, they will submit to Carfax the coverage you have on the car. Mine was done by a local small shop but with excellent reputation. The gentleman that did my car was asked to help detail auto's at recent Mecham auction. He's posted video of working on the La Ferrari

Yes, they wrapped the side skirts, front splitter and spoiler. [ and headlights ] I have the ACS front splash guards[ just the regular not the XL ] and the GM in the rear. I kept them on for added protection and they didn't wrap them. I'd put the OEM ones back on the front if your getting the entire car wrapped, the XL look to big and doesn't flow as nice [ my opinion ] If it was me, I'd try and change out the side skirts and splitter before you get the car wrapped, so you can do everything one time and be done with it. Or if you can't, keep the original ones on [ but don't wrap them and spend the $$$ if your just going to change them out ] then go back later to get the new splitter and side skirts wrapped.

I had everything wrapped, including the side skirts and splitter. Eurotech also installed them for me even though I didn’t ask which was pretty cool

Default Expel wrap

I used Greg Gellas with Signature detailing in Hillsbourgh NJ .His shop is spotless...many more high priced toys in his shop and loves doing vettes. Did great job and also two coats ceramic pro applied as well. I went with expel ultimate and car looks stunning.
