Given they took 7 days, I thought it was going to be custom but looking at it, it’s been a plotter. They are blaming Xpel and I’ve been in direct touch with Xpel so we will see!

that's interesting. i found out that Xpel has made the adhesive layer more thinner on the latest product version, launched this year. it went from 1.6mil to 1.1mil, the thinner of the 4 major brands. it seems installers complaint that Xpel was hard to place since it adhere too quickly to paint. maybe Xpel decided to alleviate this issue. But since this version is on the market for several months is odd that it could be a problem of Xpel...

i'm using Llumar and the installation, coating and vinyl details will take 10 business days...
all custom

yeah, the most important think is to have a good job.

but it hurts waiting for so long... several months waiting, now more 10 days, then 1500 Km before being able to get a glimpse of what this car can do.

man, the side badges seem to be the most expensive. and guess what? the "4 MATTIC+" part is simply made of some kind of rubber !! unbelievably cheap . any Chinese manufacturer can make this.

Llumar gives a very good result for a matte/satin look.

Nice stealth!
Curious, how does the door jambs look when door is open, is it glossy or matte?
