He showed me a black Camaro he was restoring the paint on, but I never did see an example of his X-Pel work.
He quoted me $1200 for the clear bra job (bumper, part of the hood, front of the fenders, mirror backs). When I said I'd had a solid $500 quote from another X-Pel dealer, he started coming down on the price, and before I left he was down to $900. His recommendation was that I should have the front bumper repainted (not by him) to start, let it cure, then have the clear bra put on -- something that would probably run me in total about $1500. Uh, no. My car is not a show car, it's a daily driver, and I'm *very* happy with the way it looks now. And I don't think I'd see that money back in resale 5 years from now, do you?
I'll ask the previous shop what level of X-Pel they are using, and if the 10-year-warranty covers things like yellowing; I recall he said it did.
I tire rapidly of these duds. Maybe I'd do better to put some rubber bumper strips on, drive the car, and then have the bumper repainted if it needs it in 3 years!
