Do you clear film the car first and then do a Vinyl accent wrap or the other way around. My thought is I may want to change out the accent pieces and if they are under the film we have a problem. Who makes the best windshield tear offs? Are these easy to do your self?

https://protintshop.com/collections/frontpage Sam Mammano on here sells them. Easy to install.

Definitely don’t clear over anything you don’t want to change out. I made that mistake.

True. But you do want to minimumly clear the front bumper and rockers else the wrap gets beat to crap really quickly.

100%- the wrap can’t take it.

The front and lower sides really take a beating so these areas will need to be re-filmed over time. Not sure how tough the vinyl is.

Wrap is in the 3-5 mils range and Xpel is 8 mils.

clear bra over the decals looks the nicest

Here is what I found out today. My film guy tried to take the clear film off without disturbing the color vinyl underneath on a GT2RS Clubsport and found it wasn't possible. The clear film on top lifted the vinyl while trying to remove the clear alone. I have the clear installed first so if I decide to change the livery i can do it without lifting the stronger clear below.
