A neighbor of mine has the stealth wrap on their msm and everytime I see it, it is definitely a head turner. Looks good

Looking great. Question - when you sent your car to the shop to get this wrapped you have them full access to the car?

 

[M|S|M MYP]

They need access to it, i would take it to a shop that you trust if you are paranoid about them accessing homelink, etc. They have better things to to do than trying to access your contacts, etc

Yes looks good here is my 2021. Are you doing it yourself? If not would you mind saying how much it cost and did you have any paint correction done or ceramic coating? Enjoy Mike

Exact look im going for Good buddy of mine is doing it for me as he owes me a favor. The STEK has a hydrophobic coating already so he said ceramic coating is not necessary. Paint correction was done, although it really wasn't necessary, as it was actually really good when i picked it up. It was $1500 for the materials, labor if i had to pay for it would have been about $3k probably, he does high end cars like lambos and ferraris daily.

Looks awesome! If you don’t mind me asking, what did it cost? I’m 2 weeks out from getting my Y and trying to decide to go with the full matte or just the clear front. Thanks!

Out here in socal, the cost varies. Prior to COVID, you could have gotten the full treatment for just about $4k. unfortunately, prices of everything have risen to about $5500 now for the full wrap and 10 year warranty. It's pricey but i am going to keep it for a while and figure it was worth the investment, esp with kids, etc. It also depends on what film you go with, i went with the STEK matte as it has a hydrophobic coating already so ceramic coating would not be needed. There are of course several other choices but the main thing is to get it through an authorized installer so you have piece of mind.

That's a great price...hope they are good installers and you have no seams on your car if you go that route!

That’s the tough part. I don’t have a clue if they are good. They have photos but who knows! It’s a reputable business and all but

My installer did the tails and the reflectors in the back for free. Well for the 6000.00 I gave him. But I’ll do it again I’m sure Once the model x plaid shows up.

I got XPEL Stealth...love it

was this all custom cut without seams? leaning towards full matte/satin PPF with STEK with a local installer here in the Bay Area. My 3 has nothing and I'm good with it but this is my wife's first new car so she wants it protected and I think the stealth looks GOOD

Mine was custom cut, everything is tucked into the trim (which was removed and replaced).

Got it thanks! Anything that I should be asking the installer prior to booking? Seems like seams are a big thing, and being sure that everything is tucked into the trim. Assuming they did not remove any actual panels and only the trim to tuck and then reinstalled, correct?

Looks awesome!

XPEL Stealth here as well. The MSM + a matte wrap is simply amazing. No questions about it. I get compliments daily on it.
