Awesome, order placed for satin! But ouch, that Canadian shipping hurt alot! Hope I'll be able to forget about it once it's installed on the car!

Chrome Delete will likely be cheaper with a Freight Forwarder I'm looking at a $39 rate to ship it to Canada.

Yes, welcome to our nightmare! It works out cheaper if the customs agent doesn’t charge you tax. Generally, on a lower cost item such as this they will not, and that really helps.

Has anyone tried installation of the mirror portions by actually removing the mirror? Looking online, it doesn't seem that difficult or dangerous and seems like it'd be overall much easier/reliable to deal with than trying to shimmy the wrap with water and such.

How much stretch will the vinyl see on matrix black? I'm worried it will mess up the texture. Whoever ordered it please report back.

I have an extra mirror off the car that I used for test fitting. It's not much easier, not worth the effort IMO.

It's cut not to need stretching, the pattern should not be affected.

Those tubes are a PITA to pack but it makes sure it does not get damaged when Jimmy the post office guy chucks the box 50 yards while trying to relive his days as a high school quarterback.

@Kenriko on the pic of the blue M3 on product page, is that satin or matrix? Do you know what tint% is used? That's the first pic I've seen with blue that looks good. I may finally pull the trigger.

That was Satin. I don't know what level tint that was but generally I'd recommend 20% Xpel Prime. I have 15% on my car.

20% Xpel Prime (XR+) on my car as well, pic for reference.

Door Handle Install Video. Camera (turn signal) video also just around the corner. Door trim video will be live before the weekend.

Another great vid, thanks Kenriko!

My kit literally just arrived and I thought I'd share an quick unboxing.

Looks to be bomb-proof packaging, but luckily no academic football memories re-lived by USPS from what I can tell (for a change!). Extra packing tape on all sides to keep it snug in transit:



Opened and untouched, *whiiiiif* smell that delicious mix of matrix black vinyl and laser etched wood:


Basic contents sprawled out a bit:



Damn that's a lot of packing tubes but they make great cooking/eating utinsil holders for camping:



Nooo, thank YOU Kenriko!

Camera Install

The Door Trim video will be up shortly (just finalizing a few bits). If you're installing as a weekend project I'd start with the Mirrors first then follow that with the Handles and Camera.

Door Trim Wrap Install

Man, i wish i watched the trim video before i did my install. I did okay...but i would do it again if i could. It’s the only vinyl i want duplicates of!

My car looks great...just wish i was more patient

It can be arranged if needed PM me.

Sure thing, i did think about it. We’ll see how it holds up. I’m worried about not getting it tucked completely on the top and rain/washes pulling it up. I thought it made more sense to line it up just right with the trim...no overlap. Silly.

Also, have you noticed that all of your paper instructions for each section say “watch video for mirror installation”?

The wrap in all the install videos is satin right? About to order mine.
