[QUOTE="smackYYZ, post: 130997, member: 2024"] Definitely get it done as soon as you can to best protect your paint. I had mine done with XPEL, entire front end, doors, back of mirrors, rear quarter panels and the targa top. So basically didn't do the rear end, spoiler and rear window. The shop that did mine used the computer templates. But if you look closely you can see where it stops at the seams, and the cut they made to go around the mirrors ( you have to really look ! ). In hind sight I should have paid a little more, gone with SekanSkin and totally wrapped the car. They don't use templates and do it all by hand. I was reluctant when they said they would have to disassemble the doors so they could remove the mirrors, since they wouldn't do it with a seam. Also they would remove the front clip so they could properly wrap it. When I was at their shop off of Dixie they had an R8 torn apart so they could properly wrap the car. Two reasons I would have totally wrapped the car in hindsight: 1 - The reach over when putting things into the back really needs protection, especially the spoiler. 2 - at the very edge where the template stops I've incurred some nicks around the hood Now I know I'm being picky but aren't we all with our Vettes?
