i bought my 991s from a dealer in houston and for me at least the clear 3m bra is a must. i negotiated with the dealer and they paid half of the cost so my out of pocket was close to 500 bucks.

I did the full front hood and fenders with XPel for $1,500. This is the first car that I did the entire front, it is invisible, and now after 2,200 miles I have a perfect car instead of a few paint chips, do it.

Who installed the xpel on your car and where are they located?

I've never had or seen that issue.

I had the full front, hood, fenders, inside door handles and mirrors done on my 991s by www.speedfilm.net for $1200 and am very pleased so far.

Just ripped all the 3M off my custom factory painted 997.2; the film developed a haze and orange peel texture; this is very much known to happen with 3M film which was never really expressly developed for this purpose. My installer has offered to replace the film; I am somewhat hesitant and considering Xpel but don't know that much about it.

Bottom line, I had the 3M on my car and began to look like crap in about 14 months under San Diego sun.

Even though I bought my car in FL (FT Myers) It was shipped to Boston and I had a guy there do the work, he is a member of this forum and the work was well done.

Do you guys know anyone in Michigan who does the film application?

You could do what most 991 owners in South Florida apparently do: take the car out only in the black of night. Nary a one to be seen in daylight round here. The dealer staff say they're simply not selling, but we all know their propensity for lying
