My guess is he is driving toward your direction, I don't see him around town.

 

OK guys I wanted to share this video with you, courtesy of ae911.
The shorter non dialogue version was posted here (a few times) some time ago.
However this one has the "talking head" and it's actually a pretty good review... ahem... if understand Dutch, Germain or South Afrikaans that is.

Thank for the heads-up ae911 !


(this animation was actually made from some of the footage of this vid.)

 

You know..I'm getting something very similar but the dealer recommended against lights? Any idea why? And either of you going for the doors at all? For the "too close got no choice" parking?

Fester- any word as to if the Xpel stuff is still good? Or is Prestige the most recent awesome product out?

Sorry to pick your brains guys- figured I'd ask

 

Yeah I've been thinking about that (the doors and entire rear quarter panels instead of just the arches) but since you do inevitably end up getting dings... the film would have to be removed if it has to be filled and painted.
But now a days they can do miracles with magnets, dry ice etc. so I'm on the fence for now...
Also film doesn't react well to waxing and so far the film has always been a little less glossy than a buffet clear-coat.

Choices, choices...

 

AHHHHH..my thoughts as well...wish we had a "perfectanswers.com"...genius? ....then again we are all a bit nutty

If anyone else has had some experience on this also..please do share! It's all very much appreciated to the newbie!

 

I am going with Xpel Ultimate (I think that's it). On the following parts:

Hood
Front spoiler
Front fenders
Wing mirrors

I will leave the ones from the factory on the rear wheel arches because the clear bra guy said to leave them until they require to be changed.

If I am missing something please let me know.

Hope that helps.

 

I don't know man... for a couple of hundred bucks I'd change them to larger ones, those stock rock guards for some reason are always too small...

 

I drove down to Momentum last weekend and looked at this car with my wife. It's very close to how I might submit my order; very nice car. I am still sitting on the fence over GR or the GTS. Night pics like Fester's swing me back to the GTS every time. I think that would look like the bees knees with some satin black wheels.

Regarding the clear bra, I can tell you that I had two Expel Ultimates on my E92 M3, and eventually switched to Ventureshield. The guy who did the final install does the work for the Aston dealership in town (About 20 minutes NE of where the Momentum dealership is.) Not cheap, but he knows what he's about. I was very happy with his work. The only think I can think of with the lights is that they are worried about some sort of film reaction after prolonged exposure, or perhaps distortion of the beam.
