Anyone know where I can find these? They’re the, I’m assuming XPel pre cut pieces that go on the very corners of the rear bumper (right behind the rear tires) and are very thin/small, sorta shaped like a hockey stick.

My car currently has them, and I need replacements. I looked on XPel’s site and the only place I can find them is when included in the entire rear bumper PPF kit. But I know they’re available on their own as of course my car has them, and I remember seeing others here who do too.

My shop installed them along with a piece that went under the rear bumper. I would assume any reputable PPF shop would have the pattern. Did not require the whole rear bumper. My PPF is Suntek but i has the same pieces on my previous Pcar in Xpel.

Thanks. I’ll call around and check Suntek too. Wondering if there’s hopefully any direct link just to buy the pieces.

Try these guys: http://www.mykodesigns.com/

I got some front end pre cut material from them. If anyone will have it, they will.

Any PPF installer should be able to custom cut that for you as a subsection of the pattern for the larger bumper piece. The software that allows them to cut pre-made patterns also allows them to customize the cut lines however they would like. I've watched my installer do it. I doubt they'd charge too much for such small pieces, they could probably cut it out of existing leftovers.

Try Laminex. Small pieces are easy to install. I have used them for rear bumper protection on sedans.

Thanks guys. I’m in Cali btw, and was hoping that someone would just have pre cut pieces that I can use. But I guess any competent installer would be able to make pieces for such a simple area.

here yah go, the installer who did it was 'OK" not as meticulous as some of the other installers (ie he didnt remove my headlights when he did the front bumper, he hand cut my side mirror pcs since the template cut from the machines were making a hissing noise at 70mph, which have been discussed on other threads,) I have to go back and have him re-do one of the pieces because it was peeling after a mos.

But this place is about 20% cheaper than all the other places. So i am good with it :-)

This pcs was computer cut on his machine. I wanted something wider than the small sliver of PPF (learned my lesson from my 987.2 - esp on the track) I dont mine the PPF line
