2012 C63 coupe edition one
bye bye BMW...hello C63 Coupe Edition One
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum! I just picked up my C63 coupe Edition One on Monday! Attached an initial pic...
What an amazing vehicle, and I and could not be happier with my purchase!!!
I brought her in today to get "clear" paint protection placed on the hood. they had two options, XPel Stealth(matte finish) and Venture Shield Glossy. i had them put samples on prior to full installation and they both looked terrible with the matte finish. the Xpel stealth (appeared very opaque prior to placement)made the finish look like "grip tape" on a skateboard and the venture shield was too glossy for obvious reasons. i was really hoping for a neutral option. it is hard to believe that they do not have a clear non-glossy option...
Does anyone have any experience with another clear paint protection option.
Thank you in advance for your help!
