I've been down that road before...I'm too old, busy and grown to deal with the associated hassles. I was counting the time until somebody made this comment.

Do you really think that you would get tickets if you remove these ugly useless amber reflectors ? In the USA !!! In Canada yes you would get tickets for that but in the USA, the land of the free... Maybe we're wrong but from here we are under the impression that in the USA you can even drive a car without any muffler (straight pipes) without been importuned by cops...

I really don't care to debate this issue any more... it's a stupid thing to fixate on, in my humble opinion, and the last thing I'm thinking about when I drive or look at the car. I'm not speaking on what I think, I'm speaking on experience. I have in fact been ticketed for improper lighting as a result of eliminating orange reflectors.

Love it! And I love the reflectors as they are. Not just to avoid tickets, they really make accent to your car, and without it the car would look dull, IMO.
Also safer.
Love the way it is. Great job!

He's in VA. Everyone in the US knows not to mess with VA cops on the road. They ticket for everything. If you ever drive the east coast you save your best behavior for that damn state.

Also to OP: Nice ride man. That wrap looks amazing.

Drove up to Washington DC in the middle of the month for a show. On my way up, 7 people pulled over on I95 in VA. Driving back the next day, 10 people pulled over. Storm troopers. VA hates cars, basically.

Ridiculous.

Ian ///M · 07-26-2016, 09:23 AM

VA doesn't play when it comes to regs, so trust the OP.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at the DC auto show back in Jan. Car looks great! im guessing i chose the wrong dealer out of the two because i still havent ordered yet. and ironically called alexandria the day after the car was announced but they werent taking one at the time (and had no clue when they were going to) so i went with their neighboring dealer. hmph!

lol. great color choice! i was not a fan of LBB in person, this is much better. the wrap and accessories are a classy touch. enjoy!

Hopefully youll be seeing me around soon in a BSM one haha

Looks phenomenal!

M///Fanatic · 07-26-2016, 09:06 PM

Car looks amazing! Any chance we can get more pics?

I have my MG on the way and keep going back and forth on the XPEL.

It's such a dynamite treatment, the car looks like it's been sculpted out of a single nugget of titanium. This colour should be called ironic grey. It's a Matt finish, you are dulling the surface and reducing the shininess as much as possible, it's demur, not flashy at all. But...the moment your eyes hit the car you simply cannot turn away. It's a head turner for sure. Well done.

Now...meore pics please, people here waiting and you're not sharing enough!

kitesurfer · 07-13-2017, 08:48 AM

Looks fantastic!

Curious to who did the install and how much,,, $4k range?

are you happy with the install, did they wrap the edges? were they able to cover all the indentations ect without the film lifting.

dz89 · 07-14-2017, 02:19 AM

Car looks great!

How can we find the threads on the other colours that have been wrapped with this film?

coralcaves · 07-20-2017, 09:54 PM

Looks amazing...I've a MG on the way...but is it really 4.5K+ I'd rather mess up the factory paint big time over the next few years and get a new full paint for that price or a bit more.

And kill any chance of resale or trade in value?

I'm planning on keeping my M2 for awhile and I'm not really worried about depreciation.

But still....

I can't think of anything worse for depreciation (short of a serious accident or salvage title) than a repainted car.

Thank you BHairsto! We are glad you had a great time. Our trainers are pretty awesome and give our trainees a good experience.

K9GunSlinger · 09-05-2017, 06:06 PM

just curious, i haven't read through this entire thread but how much does the XPEL stealth wrap usually cost? does it protect the paint and have self healing properties as well? thanks!

Really depends on area and installer. Can range between 4-7k I believe. The XPEL film does have self healing properties, just as XPEL Ultimate does.

Also...

K9Gunslinger,

XPEL STEALTH is usually the same price as our ULTIMATE film. Your will spend between $5,000 and $9,000 depending on your location, vehicle and the shop you take it to. Our STEALTH film does indeed have self-healing features like our ULTIMATE film. They share the same characteristics and warranty as well.

If you have any more questions feel free to reach out and let us know

I'm seriously considering a full stealth wrap and would greatly appreciate more MG pics.
