XPEL Clear Bra

DISCLAIMER: I received this product free of charge

XPEL is a company that creates paint protection automotive products, and their world headquarters just happens to be located in San Antonio. They were looking for a BRZ to make a template off of and were nice enough to provide me with a free install for letting them have my car for the day. I just picked it up and it looks great! I can't comment on the performance of the film since I haven't driven the car around enough with it yet, but the quality of the installation is definitely first class. There isn't any noticeable difference in the color of the bumper versus the non-coated hood which was really my only concern.

Now that XPEL has created the film for my car any of their worldwide dealerships can get access to the BRZ template for a quick easy install. Let me know if anyone has any questions!

What areas did they cover, as my local installer was waiting on the templates.

On my car I only got the front bumper for free. However, I believe they took templates of the bumper, hood, fenders, and possibly the side skirts (I'm not 100% sure on the last one).
