It looks like it dulls the finish of the car, can you wax it, make it shiny like the rest of the car?

 

I agree. All that effort and expense for a sub-30 grand car.

My car has a couple of tiny chips after two years and 28K miles. The touch up paint I applied is a lot less obvious than the lines on that $600 3M stuff.

 

Yeah you can wash and wax over it. It was raining that morning I drove it, so it might be a little dirty.

Hey all the effort for a sub 30k car...sure, but for those of us who like to preserve the newness and protect the car for long ownerships....I think it is worth it.

 

B) Local San Diego shop quoted me $680 for the X-Pel kits installed (upper & lower bumpers, fenders and hood). Said it takes them 2-3 hours to install. Getting the lights done this weekend and will look at samples before deciding to do rest or not.

 

Once you see it on a car, you'll probably agree. $680 is pretty good!

 

to wear a bra or not to wear a bra......................

depends on how big your bumpers are is guess
