Clear protective film kits for the X

[Tim@adonisdetail]

Very nice to see sponsors here providing good information.

Thanks! It's my goal to be a resource for all members and help steer some Tesla owners in the right direction for maintaining and protecting their cars. It can get confusing/overwhelming with all the information and options out there.

I had a partial wrap done with XPEL upon delivery. It was the detailer's suggestion; $100 each for a total of $400 vs. $250 each for a total of $1,00. I figured that once my grandkids get older and out of safety/booster seats I could remove the film. So far so good. If you look closely you can see the lines of the film edge, but I can deal with that better than permanent scratches.

Where did you go? The place in Allentown quoted me 350 per seat

$350 per seat is an AMAZINGLY high price! You could probably buy a whole new seat back for $250.

Ours also charged us $100 per seat in NC.

I thought so as well, but it's the only place in the area that XPEL had listed.

$200 per seat back in Seattle area for Xpel...thinking of going matte.

Here is how we did it. We used a combination of plotted patterns and custom cuts on the rest.

After Cquartz Finest and 60% coverage with Xpel!

I was paying a social call to Joe yesterday and looked at a couple of X he was working on (wheels off, wrap, coating, powder coat wheels, etc, etc). In both cases he used an Xpel stealth matte protective film on the seat backs. Looks really spectacular and more subtle than the factory gloss. I'd do it in a minute...wait, I don't have an X....

Anybody get seat backs done in NorCal? If so how much and where?

Thanks in advance

I'm taking delivery of mine on April 2nd. Will be taking the X directly to Premier in Fremont. I've used them for 3 of my Model Ss and on the X, I will be getting Photosync on all of the glasses + the huge windscreen. First thing I noticed when I was invited for the test drive was the sun beating on my head on the sloped top portion of the windscreen. Will also be getting the whole car wrapped and the Escort quad laser system put in. I have nothing but praises for them and I've seen other clear armors that cannot stack up to them. They do all custom work and don't use any of those computer generated stuff. Feel free to swing by to their shop to see my car being worked on. I actually went there yesterday and they had 1 X and 3 Model Ss along with a few Ferraris

premiermobilegroup.com - thumbs up for them - very very happy with their work

Any recommendations for a reputable shop in 91803 (San Gabriel Valley) area?

Over the past year I've had the opportunity to learn/work closely with Premier and can attest to this as well. Some of the best if not the best in the world

Full front end in Xpel along window pillars, falcon pilar, full rear bumper, spoiler, black trim between doors, and lower rocker area on doors. I think it came out ok!

Stealth install on back of seats. Thanks for looking!

 

[AnOutsider]

Stunning!

 

[JPP]

Love the matte finish on the backs of the seats...

Thanks Tim. You keep up the great work as well.

Just had my new X (Titanium Metallic) wrapped with Xpel Ultimate. Done by Elite Clear Bra out of Huntington Beach, CA. They drove up to the Bay Area to do the install.

Did front 3/4 of the car plus the back of the seats. Excellent job. Can't tell it is there. I highly recommend their work.

Can you tell the difference between the panels that are wrapped and the panels that are not wrapped?

When you find a good installer, it should be virtually undetectable. We use the highest gloss and clarity PPF on the market called "ClearGuard Nano" which looks as good if not better than the factory paint.
