Nice...did you also use CQuartz on the rims? I am also putting Xpel on the door transitions up to a break...black matte on the seat backs.

For the Model X, the applications can go from the very basic precut templates to a full custom install that goes to protecting the entire vehicle. Most important is to seek out an experienced installer for either. There are certain limitations with precut templates such as multiple pieces, relief openings, and / or seams. Best thing to do is to look at the work of the installer in person to gauge whether or not the standards meet your expectations. Another important note is, not all precut installers are equal...this is even more critical for custom apps.
I got my Model X wrapped with XPEL ultimate and OptiCoat Pro by Transhine in Whittier last week. Bill and Jesus did a superb job.

I love the look too, in general. Unfortunately, the 2 installs I've seen both have gaps in the pattern around the edge of the seat's "shoulder curve" that let the glossy plastic back shine through. Apparently it's the way that the xpel pattern deals with the complex curves, but since the contrast between the matte wrap and the glossy back is so strong, the gaps stand out. I've attached a version of one of the above images with the gap circled...

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
The matt does look nicer, at least with the black seats. Like to see it on the tan before I decide.
I like the matte, but unless/until I see a scratch easy removal youtube test of xpel stealth, I will go with the proven self-healing films, either xpel ultimate or suntek, etc. While its nice to know the actual seat is protected, I would rather not see the scuffs/scratches that will occur over time if at all possible, nor to have to spend another $300-700 to redo them frequently.
This is the same reason I am hoping to get a price for replacement seat backs from the SC. I'm just curious if they cost more than the price of the film. My guess is that they will (Tesla doesn't do cheap parts), but it's worth knowing.
I'd also like to see what regular self-healing films look like on the seats after they've been marred.

It will take a bit more skill on the installer to be done without the seams, but it can be done.
This is why Premiere is the only company I trust with my cars. On an interestjng note, taking my P90D there several months ago, my car was the least expensive among the cars they were working on. I had an opportunity to see a Pagani in the flesh.

Dear all. I am going to study and review all that has been shared on the thread(many thanks!). But considering value for money, what's the least expensive protection you would recommend for a newbie on this topic. I think I saw a $7500 quote somewhere on this thread, that blew my fuse :/
Has any one had the ENTIRE windscreen tinted with a SINGLE piece? I've heard from some that it is not possible and others say that it is.
Do you like the results?
