Xpel Clear Bra On Space Gray Metallic?

PoolBoy · 07-10-2008, 01:47 PM

I am having this done at my dealer tonight and am having last minute second thoughts. Has anyone had a 3m Xpel clear bra put on a space gray metalic car? I have the e92 335i.

If so, are you happy with it? Would you do it again? Does it bug you in any way or detract from your enjoyment of the car?

I've read the existing threads and they seem to run about 70% in favor of the process, and basically the darker your car, the more you notice it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts before I take my baby in for this process!

Hard to see on Space Grey .... worth having done.

Picture of my car with the front kit on.

Looks great, thanks for the endorsement, That make me feel more comfortable. Any downsides at all that you can think of or is it all positive?

The only downside is be careful with high preasure washers and high speed buffers ... don't want to use those on the film. Just wash it and wax it by hand.

Anybody with pics on jet black? Thinking of getting the whole front kit after a respray.

And does anyone know if they sell something similar to this for the aero lip?

VentureShield has the kit with the Aero kit included.

Just to be clear, Rips--do you have the treatment on the hood or just the bumper and lights? I am getting the partial hood done. Should be ready this afternoon. Space gray is a great color!!

How is it holding up? I saw that the front bumper is about $350 and the hood/mirrors is around $150. You guys think it's worth it for $500+installation.
