Had my whole front end done with Xpel paint protection film. Love how it looks. The shop did a fantastic job. They roll all edges so there are no visible seams.

Yeah I got the 3M film on mine. Awesome job they do! Precise cuts around the headlights and all!

Did you buy your truck in Mexico?

No. When they pulled off my emblems (they do not cut around the emblems) I had them put on the Lobos emblems. Something different. I actually like them better.

Really been thinking about doing that. Been quoted about 1500-2k for the full hood, fenders, bumpers.

The way I look at it is it will keep the truck looking nice for a longer time then not putting anything on. The other side is you could buy a lot of touch up paint for the price of the Xpel. For me I really care how my truck paint looks and how it will look in 5 years.

Does Xpel offer lifetime warranty like 3M?

I bought a pre cut 3M "pro" full bra off e-bay a few weeks back and had it installed a week a go.

Really happy with the way it turned out. The installer made a comment on how well it fit and was overall very impressed. The seller tossed in as a bonus the door cup and door edge guards as a bonus even after taking my "best offer" of $250.

Installer charged me $250 for a total of $500. I couldn't be any happier with the entire transaction and results.

I'm not sure I would be able to tell the difference from one brand to another by just walking up and looking at it.

LMK if someone would like the link as I noticed the seller put another one up. If you buy the kit make sure you can find an installer who will do it for you as some of them won't install it if you didn't buy the film from them.

Looks great, what's the deal with washing and waxing with those on, do you just spray it down and give it a little soap and your done?

Not sure where you are finding the lifetime warranty. The best 3m Pro wrap is a 7 year warranty. Their other wraps below this are 5 year warranty. This info is from the 3m web page. The Xpel Ultimate which I used is a 10 year warranty.
That's a good deal. Like you said it can be hard to find an installer. My big thing was first having the best protection made. This is why I went with the Xpel Ultimate cover. I did not want any seams showing on the hood or fenders. Any coverage is better than no coverage.
The Xpel I am using you can wax it just like you do the rest of your care. The Xpel Ultimate I'm using has the self healing property and it is very easy to get stains off the covering. If you go to the Xpel web page you can learn how all this works.
