I believe because there isn't a piece of xpel big enough to seemlessly go around the sunroof.
Is it just me or are the front window tints darker then the rear? Also does the camber look out of wack from the rear?
After looking at these pics I just had this crazy idea pop into my head -- chrome plate the calipers.

It's not you. If you tinted your front windows at 20% like most people, then yes, it's darker. Porsche factory tint is like 27% or 28%. I researched it on Rennlist when my front tints looked darker too.

Don't chrome plate the calipers. It'll hold too much heat.
It's just like trying to make the decision on a chrome plated alternator, or a polished aluminum,...
You don't want the chrome plating to hold that heat in.

I do see where you are going with it though (black with chrome highlights),... but since you can't get rid of the red taillights & lower reflectors,... and you already have the red calipers (which screams "turbo" anyway),... why not go for a little more red in the scheme. Maybe a thick red pinstripe down the side just above your running boards (on the gray),... or some other red highlight.
