Default .2 3RS full XPEL - advice?

Perhaps I should have just went for the front of the car....? But I chose a full XPEL wrap... anything I have to be aware of afterwards? (Except crashing the car) :-)

IMO, on a black car, a full wrap is the way to go. I did the same and have zero regrets.

I think the full wrap is always better. Only downside as far as I know is the cost.

Which is why I only did the front end/pillars/mirrors. Somehow spending multiple thousands on a plastic film doesn't sit right with me.

Is this car completed in this photo? If so, they forgot to replace the front lip spoiler.

Full wrap is way to go, issue is to wrap over the RS side stickers or to remove and replace (using smaller one gt2rs-style) over the wrap which is what I chose, very happy with results .. makes you enjoy car without having to worry about every little thing

No, they didn’t start yet :-) he made the hood and two fenders in one day.... he’s a perfectionist... and I can’t drive it before August 10th or something because PAG can’t provide the documents needed yet :-(
on the other hand... my old GT3 (mk1) has sensed, I’m working another girl..... she suddenly performs a lot better (or so it seems) :-)

Beware of the area behind the rear side vents. They get hot and mine started delaminating. Since there's a crease there the film would not stick easily and started getting dirty so it had to get trimmed.

Full XPEL on all my cars. Sometimes there will be areas that need to be fixed, but with a 10 year warranty and great service from my wrapper, I couldn't be happier.

We did double layer on high wear areas.

Every time a wash my car i wish I had done the full car, you made the correct decision, especially for a black car.

Id go double up or at least over the factory vinyl in front of the rear wheel to prevent sandblasting
