I'm doing nothing to protect the paint. You drive it on the street so it's gonna get beat up. Also i would just get the bumper repainted if too many chips, a lot cheaper but i lease cars so i won't be doing that |

Color matching certain metal flake paint is very hard. I was shown a color swatch booklet filled with just variants of Subaru World Rally Blue.

I was intrigued when someone said to look at the expel Trac wrap. Then I looked at the price. Do people really buy that stuff. I'm sure it's wonderful but years ago my friend recommended this from target. Many of the drivers at his local pcna use it. I've been using it too now for years and others at my track sessions are now picking up on it. Price is right and I've never had an issue with it. Comes right off and leaves no residue. It's great for a weekend at the track. Rain or shine. After that I take it off. It may be good for something temporary if you don't want to go bare.

What is everyone going to cover xpel wise? I am planning on doing the front bumper front fender, lights and the whole hood. I would appreciate any input on what everyone is doing. I don't want to spend the money to do the whole car.

If you don't want to do the whole car, do the rear flares as well as the leading edge of the roof. There's been reports of pitting on the rear flares because they're wider than the front of the car so rock chips and the like. |

The area at the front of the rear flares have a clear film already installed from the factory. |

Never seen this stuff. Has anyone used it. Looks like a pita to take off though.

If XPEL, IND or other aftermarket companies want to make a quick buck, they should consider releasing a cut-out template for the M2/X5M/X6M rear reflectors in a dark tinted foil (blackline treatment).

I'm sitting here at the window tint shop and asked them to check to see if the xpel pattern is there for the M2. It's in their system he showed it to me on their computer they use to cut it.. I'm having them install it tomorrow.
