Can someone in the DC/MD/NOVA area recommend a place? Right now I have a quote from proshieldinc for 1200 for xpel ultimate full front of the car. Does anyone have experience with them or anyone else in this area?

jem7v

no one?

If you are in that part of the world you should stop by TPC in Jessup and get to know them...I am sure that they can point you in the right direction on a lot of stuff...(good folks from what I have heard).

Jessup is like an hour and half away from me.

Call your local porsche dealer and ask who they recommend. A lot of times they contract things out like leather repair, clear bra install, etc. They might know of someone.

Yea they do it for 1500 and it's 3M. The service guy also recommended someone else who will do it for 1700 xpel ultimate full front. I have another shop who will do xpel ultimate 1200 full front. My detail guy uses the last one and he says on the last 15 cars he brought to them, they didn't mess anything up.

Also the owner sent me pictures of a 991 GT3 that he is wrapping the whole thing now. Looked fine. Also the pictures on their website they have done a few ferraris, astons, and a veyron.

You'll want the xpel wrap. Its a great product. I've wrapped all my cars full frontal and it does a great job of protecting the car. I also do everything forward facing like the wing on the back of the car, mirrors, door cups and door edges. Also, the door sill below the carbon that is a painted part. Tends to get kicked getting in/out of the car. You may want to also consider doing the windshield with clearplex. Another great product that will protect the windshield from rocks, etc. Done both on all our cars.

Ok the windshield stuff I am interested in but, I read reviews where it isn't that great. For instance wipers get stuck on it, or doesn't appear clear, etc..

The only negative I have heard about it is that a slight halo effect appears around lights at night.

You said MD...that's all that I know.

how many turbo owners on this forum actually have a clear bra on their car?

That's never been my experience. I view it as a disposable item. Once its toast from protecting the windshield I'll have it replaced. I have yet to replace one on the 911 but I'll probably replace the one on the Rover. Not bad for 3 years daily driven in Seattle.

I'm wondering if maybe people in other areas of the US just have bad roads. In my area I really don't do that much high way driving. Maybe once every other week? And the roads here that I go to work on really aren't that bad. Even during winter. Now I actually checked all my relative's porsches and BMWs and none of them have any rock chips in the front.

In the 3 years I been paying attention, none of my other cars have gotten chips either. So I'm wondering now if this is really necessary just because of my particular area.

I'd say it's necessary if you're in maryland. My other car (admittedly a black sports car) has plenty of rock chips. Wish I had gotten a clear bra a long time ago.

What's the place you were looking at that does it for $1200?
