but be honest......how COOL do you feel in a packed parking lot or picking up your kids from school when those doors go up????? going up is not the issue, coming back down and closing is where I get an anxiety attack each time hahaha. "PLEASE CLOSE PLEASE CLOSE PLEASE CLOSE"
When we did the demo, my son was on the back, and on his phone. I closed the FWD by hitting the button. I was expecting him to get out by opening the door on his side, but instead he decided to dash for the door taht was closing and it hit him on the head, he said it did not hurt. It got me worried with dogs and kids and not paying attention!but be honest......how COOL do you feel in a packed parking lot or picking up your kids from school when those doors go up????? going up is not the issue, coming back down and closing is where I get an anxiety attack each time hahaha.

Correct, all my paperwork said 15mi but the vehicle had 8-9 actually at pickup 11/3.
The FWD's and Trunk are very cautious currently.... They won't hit anything.
during our normal morning routine of dropping kids off, i have my wife ready to yell "BACK THE F UP!!!" lol the teachers and kids are aware and we get the "here comes the D-bags" look now. Jokes aside, everyone knows to basically step back as the car will do its thing so we are not facing any issues.
I'm way to OCD to try PPF myself although I have played with vinyl a bit and done a "chrome delete" kit on my 3.

Just got my X done up with some PPF (Front Bumper/Full Hood/Rear Bumper/Lights/Mirrors) for a discounted price of $1500 form my local guy.
Well worth the money for these high impact parts if you're OCD and crazy about a clean vehicle. The prep before the PPF is just as important including a full decon, clay bar and basic paint correction/buffing.
I will be attempting my Ceramic Coating DIY for the 1st time now that the car is basically prepped and ready. Great deal on this full Adams kit the other day, about $110 after Lightning Deal.

Haven't hit anything with the FWDs. So far they have consistently properly stopped short when in my garage and opened fully when outside--but I still don't think I'll trust them to open in tight spaces without me monitoring them closely.
Thx for info! Pretty red color! Never had fwd so a bit nervous, deciding between the new Y which I heard has better suspension vs the "plain x". My 22 Y has the USS so haven't really hit anything or scratched other people's doors in paroling lots etc. Also deciding if I make the move, the ultra re like yours or the blue.Correct, all my paperwork said 15mi but the vehicle had 8-9 actually at pickup 11/3.

Was really nervous the first time trying them in my garage but all is good, done it many times now.
They open with enough space for smaller people or kids to get in initially, then I just hold the button to come up the next level.
I honestly rather it this way...no surprises!
Not a chance on that suspension comment... Suspension is the same on an LR or Plaid X as well.Thx for info! Pretty red color!

is closing the fwd a problem?but be honest......how COOL do you feel in a packed parking lot or picking up your kids from school when those doors go up????? going up is not the issue, coming back down and closing is where I get an anxiety attack each time hahaha.

not really, we all just have been brainwashed to believe they will constantly have issues. I only encountered 1 issue and that was due to the car seat being too close to the door where it touched during closing. we just like to complain about our first world problems and have a good time LOL. Are they perfect? no, do they do the job? Yes.
Off topic....
For any of you DIY'ers, If you are interested in PPF and are not afraid to install it your self, check out this website. They sell all the piece's in precut form. I purchased the full door kit along with the A-pillars. Not bad at all. May not be Xpel or Suntek but for fraction of the price, I took a gamble and am super happy with the results. I did not install it, I found a PPF installer that did the install on the side for a couple hundred. I had the full front PPF'ed by a shop in Dallas and when I went back to see how much the doors would cost, they stated 475 PER DOOR! I got the entire 4 door kit plus A-pillar and door handles for under $390 from this site lol. I'm not affiliated, just passing along info and the savings incase you did not want to drop a ton on the sides for PPF =)
They usually will provide a 10-15% off as well.

I do have some experience with PPF on vehicles over the years and my opinion is you want to avoid exposed seams and partial panels wherever possible.
What is the benefit of that over PPF? I've had PPF on my model s for 4 years now and the car always have a nice polished/shiny look after a wash. Not sure I will see a difference if I apply this so I am curious.I'm way to OCD to try PPF myself although I have played with vinyl a bit and done a "chrome delete" kit on my 3.
