Bumper Sill Opinion
What do you guys think about this:

It will give the GLC some sophisticated feel of GLK. What do you guys think? BTW my GLC is cardinal red.

I had something similar on a Nissan SUV a few years back. I got it primarily to protect the bumper from getting scratched. We had a rather elderly Labrador at the time and she used to catch the bumper with her claws getting in and out. It was a worthwhile purchase.

I thought of the SS shield, but thought that it would break the clean lines (my GLC is white). I have gone on the XPEL website and see that there are DIY kits. Anyone used these for the trunk/cargo area?

Matter of fact the shop owner and I were standing near the rear of the vehicle with the tail gate open and almost as an afterthought he asked if I wanted the bumper covered. Ahh, yea. No brainer.
One has to look very closely to see the Xpel is there.

Due to the endless rain in bay area, the roads are ruined. My car already got 2 paint chips on the hood.
Do you think it is still worthwhile to do Xpel? Is the self-installed TracWrap any good?

The most important aspect of Xpel is finding a competent installer.
TracWrap is not the long term answer to paint protection. Meant to install before going to the track and removing after returning from the track.

Called around for quote for Xpel for full front application. All said $1800.
What was your secret of getting it for $50?
How come those of us in the bay area are getting screwed so badly....

You can look up the price and get an idea of what the kit would cost - the rest is labor.

I live in Tucson - moved here from Philly 18 months ago. I've learned that many services cost less.
I had them install the film on the top of the bumper sill and wrap it down an inch. It's totally transparent until you look closely.
