Second) yes you can drill through it. I was able to attach a quick release to my front bumper drilling directly through the film. My bumper has come off so many times from the SC install that it no longer sat flush. Hope that this has helped.

What kind of rubber side skirt is that? Along the bottom of your doors. Definitely want to install those as well. Your car looks great! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Do the EZ lips come precut for specific cars? Where did you buy them from and how do they install? Thanks! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

The rockers have textured paint on them, so I assume you did not Xpel that portion of your car? |

100% correct my friend. They attach to the underside of the rockers.

DesertLava,
How do you like Xpel after a year? Did you get Xpel put on full hood, front bumper, mirrors, full fender, A-pillars, (partial) roof, and headlights? Would you do anything differently? Thanks! |

As of right now my coverage includes: bumper, lights, hood, a pillars, mirrors, fenders, roof, and doors. The paint is holding up extremely well, the film has already proved itself. Lots of rock chip attempts and all self healed in warm water. I had one larger pebble/rock pop up and hit the film. Punched three 1 mm holes in the film. The film protected the paint or I would have been looking at big rock chips. At the very least I recommend the bumper and front half of the hood. |

I’m thinking of getting this done to my car and was wondering if there’s anything i need to get done to the car before this? Like get it detailed? Waxed? Ceramic coated?

The paint needs to be corrected prior to the application of the clear bra. Any imperfections will be sealed.
Usually dealers/installers quote your car based on the prep required for the install. Decontaminated, clayed, and polished. etc. |
