I'm so mad at myself.

I sent them an email last night, hoping they will answer in about 2 hours when they open. Let's see what they can do.

I'm ONE day in!!! SHE HAS ARRIVED (2015 C4S)

Pre ordered spacers 7mm & 15mm arrive tomorrow and LED Clears (already in place).

As far as the XPEL, I was considering until an installer informed me that XPEL may "yellow" he was installing Suntek on a white 911 Turbo S at the dealer.

I recently stopped by a different dealer regarding their service for pre-owned. He informed me that the Top Line film on the market today is now made by 3M.

I don't know which is best but I will do my own research and reach out to the forum for feedback on each.

I understand that there are different grades of protective film made by each company, was told that Suntek and 3M are "self healing". Suntek also has "pre-cut" quarters and doors which make the install much safer for the paint as there is supposedly no need for trimming. Not sure about 3M and I believe XPEL has to be trimmed on every panel before final placement.

Do your research and enjoy the whip.

I put about 150 miles on mine today.... just rolling around the expressway.

Xpel is the ultimate in self healing and also, just like 3m and Suntek can be pre cut. The installers actually have plotters that cut the film - every brand does this. Shop your installer and not the film! There is little differentiation in product but Suntek and Xpel seem to be the top 2.

Thanks for posting the pic and we're glad to hear that you're pleased with your order! Matching the grey to your exact vehicle color under clear resin is a great custom touch. Please post a few additional pics once you've installed it

Sure thing, did it yesterday.
Pardon the bad lighting. A few of the pics will clearly show why I need that Xpel pronto.

Bought a new exhaust-

the Kline Inconel Valvetronic System. I', still getting used to it, but it's much louder in sport mode, and a much smoother sound.

Bizwiz, do you have any sound clips of the Kilne 991.2 exhaust? If so could you please share?

Thanks!
