My current shop is leaning towards doing it with one 60" piece (they said that they have to be very careful to do it that way and avoid stretch marks, though). That's the last piece they have to do on the car before it's completely wrapped, so I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Of course, it would be great if you all could put out the 72" Stealth sheets at some point in the near future so we don't have to worry about this problem!
I couldn't agree more. Our Engineering department is well aware :)

Confirmed that with care, the 60ā€ Xpel stealth sheet can fit the hood (but, as mentioned above, you have to be really careful to avoid stretch marks). Itā€™s still a work in progress and Iā€™m having some other stuff done to it, so Iā€™ll share better pictures once theyā€™re available, but for the time being hereā€™s a preview of it.

(Next steps are to tint the windows, replace the mirrors with the CF ones and install the TRD spoiler and side door garnish, and then clear PPF the CF parts and ceramic coat everything.)

I'm a little off topic but does anyone know how to get the windows all the way up for tinting?

I had xpel PPF on the bonnet, bumper, front wings, side skirts, A pillars and front edge of the roof of my GTS and itā€™s fantastic, you donā€™t even notice itā€™s on there. You canā€™t compare it to detailing/ceramic coating, theyā€™re completely different products but be warned... it isnā€™t cheap, youā€™re talking a little into four figures for what I had BUT itā€™s also self healing so if you get a scratch you just apply heat/hot water and it fixes itself. Donā€™t get me wrong you couldnā€™t run a blade down it but you know what I mean. You can go to a jet wash and not care less, it comes out mint every time so well worth the outlay for the ease of maintenance (Iā€™m lazy!)
Only just spotted this, where did you get the PPF done? looking to get mine done although now in storage until next April.

Have you finally driven yours?

A friend of a friend that has a PPF company fit it. His name and company escapes me but Iā€™ll have a chat and see if he can get me the details. As for mine... yup itā€™s finally on the drive

a90_tay,

We have quite a few options in the UK. Check out our XPEL Certified Installer locator to find one nearest you.



Supra Dupra,

Thank you for giving us a chance. While we don't like to speak to what other brands can or cannot do, what we can say is that XPEL STEALTH is by far the most popular film in the industry for matte/satin appearance. It's also the very first film to be self-healing, non-yellowing, and to be backed by a 10 year warranty. Due to its stronger adhesive, STEALTH can be a little tricker to install and that can be why some installers may favor using the other brand. That said, if longevity and overall durability/quality are what you're after, then XPEL STEALTH is the answer. Hope this info helps. If you do decide to go XPEL, once the install is finished, send us an email at [email protected] with some photos of your car and we will be more than happy to send you an XPEL Swag Pack complete with Aftercare products such as our Ceramic Boost Spray. We just need your t-shirt size and shipping information.

**In fact, we would like to extend this offer to ANYONE on this forum that has XPEL on their Supra. Send us the info above to the email we mentioned along with the URL (link) to the thread where you've posted about your XPEL experience.**

XR PLUS window tint is an incredibly high performing tint able to plus 98% of infrared heat with a lifetime transferable warranty.

Can you tell us which shop you're considering having the work done?

Just checked the XPEL site. (been a while)

2nd one is for the 8" screen it seems.
