Clear Bra & Tint Project

I have decided to go with the new XPEL Ultimate (self healing) paint protection. Full Hood, Full Fender, Full Bumpers and Mirriors. Also I am going with the Llumar Formula One Pinniacle Series (35%) on the back 5 windows and going with their new Air Blue 80 stuff on the front two windows (I live in California).

If I went with the kit, which is partial hood and fenders & the tint I was looking at $1,334 OTD. The going full hood and fenders w/tint is $1,800 OTD. It requires custom work as there are no full kits on the market yet for the 2012 BMW 328i. I decided to go full hood, fenders, etc. because I don't want to see lines.

I've got Xpel Ultimate and like it so far but it's too soon to see if it will truly resist yellowing.

Here are some large pics. The tint is great and the XPEL Clear Bra is really nice. Being that I did a full hood/fender/bumper/mirrors, you have a very hard time finding or seeing any seems.
