You are right Swacer, but it is more fun spending it on toys than leaving it for someone else LOL Those two autos in your driveway look fab ! Enjoy !!

Twitte -amazing how Atomic Silver changes in color with the different time of day and light. Yours look more silver, and mine up by the garage has a gold/beige tint.

Can you spot my dog in one of the photos?















Nice car...Quick question regarding the xpel film. Do you see any dust or marking under the film on any spots? I also got this done on my new fsport rx but I notice that on the bumper for example, their is some dirt trapped underneath the film. My installer said getting it 100% clean is very difficult.

If you installer is saying that, you picked the wrong installer and they lack accountablity.

If you find dirt and blemishes underneath, they should be asking you "do you want me to redo it?"

While its hard to "not" get dirt underneath, saying its "difficult" is not acceptable.

My bra is near flawless.

My installer did an excellent job and i don't have any dust or dirt under the Xpel material. He would only install it inside at his facility or inside my garage. Did your installer do yours outside?

We noticed the same thing. The car looks different (different colors) depending on the lighting.

It was done inside his facility..My car is white so I'd assume everything shows. I will go talk to him sometime this week and have him redo what I'm not satisfied with...

I spoke with my installer about your problem. Here is what he said: "White will show debris easier than most other colors, the key to limiting debris on any car is a clean car with a clean installation environment. Did they contact the installer to see if they can help?"

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Weather finally permitted my first detailing. Couldn't resist snapping a few shots of the finished product.
