Just had the full front and a couple of spots around the rear done in XPel on my car and I'm not happy at all with it. I was told the kit applied in between the stripes, not on them. I got the car back and the seams on the outside of the stripes are perfect, then it looks like someone cut some sizes about the width of the stripes with scissors and laid them down, and then used their teeth to cut a strip to lay down between the stripes. Then with our eyes closed using fingernail clippers, we cut around the hood vent making sure to leave a good 1/2" of room for the seam.
But only on the hood, because on the bumper and just above the splitter it was laid out completely over the stripes. I have seams on the bumper where it goes from vertical to horizontal, and I have no coverage at all behind the fender vents.
I'm looking for some folks to provide me with a picture or two of the application of XPel or whatever you may have used, specifically on the stripes on the hood and bumper. I'd really appreciate seeing some examples I can take back here to discuss how we're going to rectify the situation. At this point, there isn't a single panel on the front of the car that I'm happy with. I keep reading people saying "Oh people can't even tell I have clear bra installed". Well, we don't have that situation here. Super disappointing day...
