Through 20+ years in the industry, we've had the pleasure of making lots of friends in the Auto industry, one of which is "Itzkirb", our favorite photographer and car enthusiast. So when he purchased his 997 Turbo recently, we set out to make sure his car is protected properly with the best PPF (ClearGuard Nano SR), the best tint (Spectra Photosync), and one of the best Ceramic Coatings (Nanolex Si3D HD). Unfortunately the car had existing Xpel clear bra, which had too much orange peel texture and the installation was sub par to say the least. This coming from a "Certified" installer. Many customers do not fully understand the main difference between our 100% custom installations vs "pre-cut or custom pre-cut" kits. So first, here are pics of the existing clear bra.
Pre-cut kits generally fall short in the category of complete protection and having minimal seams.
Corner gaps is a staple of many inexperienced installers.
Pre-cut kits are designed to make it easier for to install by joining pieces together. This comes at the expense of the customer as there will be many more visible seams.

More gaps and seams.

Next comes the re-installation. Our Custom Clear Bra application provides the most seamless results in the industry. We use ClearGuard Nano SR exclusively because of its unmatched gloss, clarity (no orange peel texture), and best hydrophobic properties. With our custom installation, we are able to maximize coverage areas with each panel wrapped with one piece of film.

Seams are wrapped where ever possible for the most seamless install possible. No distortions or excessive edge gaps.
After the film is installed and paint corrected, we applied Nanolex SI3d Hd to the film and paint for added depth of gloss, protection from the environment, and ease of maintenance. Here are the some close up pics that show in detail the results of the film and our installation....
Completed custom mirror installation.
The best gloss and optical clarity of all PPF in the industry.
Corners properly wrapped with no detectable seams or flapping overhangs of excess film.
The tightest possible edge gap.
Custom front bumper install with one piece of film and no excess seams or installation flaws.
Looks absolutely outstanding. My car, unfortunately, looks like the "before" pictures with too many seams and would love to have it redone to replicate the work shown here. Can anyone in the Chicagoland (Naperville) area recommend an installer as good as this? Thanks in advance.
