Full Xpel stealth on my frozen bronze M5

Phatcat · 07-16-2016, 04:52 AM

Finally had time to get this done on my M5. The car was at the shop for almost a week, though the actual application of the film (if I added the time) took only about half a day. Unfortunately there were Ferraris coming in and out all this time and they had to work on the Ferraris first because they are a contractor with Taiwan Ferrari distributor.

Anyways, the result is not bad, didn't cheapen the look of the OEM paint while made it much easier to take care of.

The blue GT3 RS is a wrap, original paint is white. Apparently a lot of people want to keep resale value high so they buy basic colors and then wrap the car in the color they truly want. In this case this Porsche owner also has a Cayenne Turbo wrapped in the same blue (but original color is black).

Here's some more of the pictures.

Looking good! XPEL is well worth the investment.

so pretty much with the Expel you don't even have to wax your car since it's wrapped in it correct?

frisky · 07-19-2016, 09:55 PM

Yup. I had mine done as well and I love how it feels to the touch. Also - since Im so OCD Im thinking of re-doing the fronts already with a fresh Xpel. Ive had the car for about 8 months now and its got a few marks on the front wrap that piss me off - even tho they are only visible if you look really close. A benefit of Xpel is that you can just do a fresh coat and its like brand new again.

That's correct, one of the major reason I did Xpel is less care.

MPE was put on yesterday. There are some smudges on the photographs because I photoshopped out the tuner shop logo. Don't want people to think I'm advertising for anybody, though the shop and the car isn't in the US so probably doesn't matter anyways.

NightM · 01-29-2017, 09:13 PM

wow.

phefner · 01-30-2017, 07:07 PM

That is without a doubt one of the coolest looking M's I've seen.
