Hey Guys I found this site that sells 3m Paint Protection Film almost half of what xpel sells it for. I think that it is the same stuff that all the other companies use. The downside is that it is just the bulk material and not cut. Check the site out.

Wow! - They are selling that cheap! I have been involved with the paint protection business for a couple of years and havent seen it that cheap before.

I wonder if you can have someone pre-cut the kit out of your bulk material you buy?

Anybody know?

I think they might supply other companies like Stonegard and Xpel with the film and then in turn those companies mark it up even more. We are just cutting out the middle man.

I had originally bought the Xpel kits through a hook-up. After I got it installed, I was not happy with how parts of the install turned out and contacted the Xpel dealer that installed it. They told me that they will redo what is needed. Then they tell me that they don't even have the kits on hand. They have all the templates (for stock cars, custom body kit still needs custom work) on their computer. I assume these templates come from Xpel. They just buy the bulk film, use the template and some kind of cutting machine to "make" the kits.

You may want to contact one of the dealers that is in your area (based on the Xpel website) and see if they can just do the cutting if you bring in your own materials. Again this is only for stock bodies.
