Contact Xpel directly, and likely they will know a good installer. I worked with Adam Millsap to find one in Michigan. He was very helpful.
Email amillsap@xpel.com , phone number 1800-447-9928.
Good luck.

So if you have made it to this level where you can afford around 100k+, you are not a dumb***. Why would you want to hand over your car to someone who would be doing what you could do yourself, charge you thousands, put blade marks on the paint (if not using kits). I have used them all, no matter what anyone else says, no one can do a better job but you. You can buy the xpel kits for half the price from one of the guys on ebay,learn how to install the kits by buying cheap ones from ebay for practice.
Its really not hard at all, just have to spend time to make it look good. you have all the time you needed to fix your mistakes by keep the sticky side wet, slight heat to the film to help mold, and a good squeegee. I have used all the installers in Texas, they have created this hype that they are doing something close to ART work. My cars either looked ****ty or had blade/heat damage. So I do all my cars myself, I can usually do my hole car in a weekend. When I don't have time, I finish it slowly in a week or so. So my advice would be to do it your self and don't let a installer abuse your car or your pocket.

Norm hasn't harmed my cars and he is so meticulous that most folks argue with me when I tell them that there is a clear bra on my car. Houston is good too, but he has a different business model that doesn't allow for the time norm spends fitting the film so well.

A whole weekend? Sorry, my time is worth more than that.

I do wish Norm used XPEL, but I think the film he uses is very similar

Tell your brother to call Kevin at ForceField Paint Shield in Denton, TX.

(940) 390-9957
He does excellent work and will make sure the job is done right. He uses our Design Access Program pre-cut pattern software and wraps edges. There is no need to worry about cut marks or a poor installation.
It's important to note that not all films are created equal. XPEL ULTIMATE is backed by a 10 Year Warranty, is self-healing (fine scratches and swirl marks will self-mend from the heat of the sun), and is non-yellowing (stain resistant).
Hope this info helps, let us know if you have any other questions.
