I talked to one guy who had it put on his 350Z a year ago, and he absolutely loves it. Said he was driving behind a dump truck one time that hit a bump, and a pile of mud came flying out of the truck onto his front bumper, and there were no chips at all in the paint.

I'm thinking of getting the front bumper done at a minimum ($310 plus installation), but am considering the rocker panels and headlights as well.

TMS user woody1 posted recently that he is very pleased with the results...

I believe I saw a 3M product on this forum with the same properties. Very interesting. I would love to see a car in person with this stuff installed.

B) Getting rocker panels, lower portion of rear quarter pamel and trailing edges of all four wheel openings done this weekend.

:nono: Even though it's part of the kit, recommend omit door handle cups due to shape and potential hassels.

Don't ask for photos; the X-Pel doesn't really show up; best I've seen is on their website

:flag2: That will be everything and my little High Maintenance Baby's GT; next ZAINO.

Excellent! I look forward to buying these mods immediately! ... well when I get the car.

Thanks for the pictures, glad to see the product really is near invisible on the car.

I have a minor chip on the hood, but that's normal... as much as I don't want to admit it. Maybe after I get my stripes painted on and all the pieces re-cleared, I might consider this.

Woody1, how much did it cost you to get the whole car done? Did you do it yourself or have it professionally done?

I believe he said just under a 1000 for it all with installation. This was in another thread, will look for it and put the link here. To have that level of protection would be worth it to me. Hated every chip, ding etc I have in my black stang. Definitely want to prevent anything on the new car.
