hello fellow SD peepz I just got my blue 01 is300 last week and been noticing the soft paint issue... can someone recommand a cheap and experienced XPEL installer in the area?

One other question (might sound stupid) on burning in the car.. some ppl told me not to go past 3krpm b4 1000mile others told me not to go pass 55mph... who do I listen to?

any input would be greatly appreciated

I don't think anything could really guard against chips. The main benefit of XPEL is that you don't need to wax your car all the time. Average people won't be able to tell the difference XPEL made to the car anyway.

humm 99 bux for the hood fender and mirror kit... (no installation just kit)
and 179 for the bumper kit

I got the hood and mirror kit and paid $50 for the install. Click my sig for a pic.

THIS IS NOT TO KEEP FROM WAXING!! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. This is the same material they put on jet canopies to protect them from debris on landings and takeoffs. I've had mine for about 4 months, and have traveled over 6000 miles with it, and my hood doesn't have a single chip where the xpel is at. And even if it did chip, and doesn't dent the metal, xpel pays for the paint job.

It's no joke.

Here's another pic straight on. Good luck finding the line though.
