Not dough... you'll need a bulldozer to shovel through the manure, is what I meant.

I believe that protective solutions does use xpel. Ask Eric Kaul as he is their brand manager.

Did they give you the updated unit from late 2012-2013? And for free? There was a silent recall - meaning only offered to customers that complained

No, I paid for the damn thing!! Do you have any documentation! I just went to the parts desk and grabbed it. I did get the updated part though. Unfortunately, mine is already in the garbage...

When I was at his shop he punched my car into the computer and it connected to a server which allowed the plotter to cut out the template out of his many rolls of XPEL of different widths since he can do full panel coverage. It had the template for all panels. But I bet that's super expensive as a full frontal install is, I think, over $1,000. I asked him what he can do for people who are long distance with this product so if you're serious PM me and I'll keep you up to date.

Today it's starting to look better as the slip solution breaths out. I can't even see the seam!

Installed m3 engine mounts, m3 trans mounts, akg poly steering coupling and bmw performance grills.

Last week, got a code for SAP valve stuck open. Decided to remove SAP and clean the electrical contacts. Dropped one of the 3 small bolts into the engine bay, couldn't find it, not even after jacking up front of car and removing plastic splash pan. Oh well, still have 2/3 bolts holding SAP down. Poured some Seafoam into the hose going to the SAP valve bolted to the block. Poured a little too much! Started engine cold, LOTS of white smoke came out the tail pipe.

Edit: So much smoke came out, I felt embarrassed as I drove away, hoping none of my neighbors noticed.

But I think the SAP valve isn't getting stuck any longer.

Well... not today but on monday, got my AA exhaust and installed :) now... only missing the ecs power pulleys and Im done... I THINK

Did front and rear brakes. So glad to get rid of all the brake dust. So sick of it. Went with Akebono all around as well as new StopTech Drilled front Rotors.

Got to use my new Cusco ramps for the first time too. Friggin highly recommended if you struggle getting a jack under the car.
