thanks again for the sample its awesome stuff!!

 

i'd like a sample as well. i wanna compare it to the dinoc. pm'd ya man.

 

I am really interested to see how this stuff holds up to the elements on a car that is not stored inside. I have been contemplating doing my room and A-pillar but my car sits outside in a parking lot all year round and I am worried about the temp differentials and rain/snow messing it up.

 

I am wondering the same thing...

I am contemplating having the car wrapped in this stuff but I don't know if the weather in the area will completely own it.

anyone local (NE/E) wraps cars?

 

Whats the life expectancy of the xpel stuff ? I'd like a sample.

My car's outside year round. My roof and b-pillars are wrapped in dinoc and have held up great for about a year so far, and counting.
NY weather ftl

 

approximately how much you have to spend to cover the roof?

 

I just order some di noc from carbonfibergear.com 12inx48in for 36 shipped. Im going to wrap a few pieces of my interior. Ill let you know how the di noc is i have read nothing but good reviews about it.

 

36x48 sheet plus labor i paid about 140

 

that's quite a bit of money to wrap a roof haha

 

do it yourself, it took me 20 mins

 

true but i don't trust my skills when it comes to applying that stuff hah

 

Heres some pics as I promised did it in about 2hrs (excuse quality taken with iphone)
I have to order some more to complete the whole console

Shifter,Window switches,B pillar ( all with 12inx48in) Good quality, stretches real nice when some heats applied (blow dryer)

 

when you say it stretches, it incresaes in size without deforming the carbon shaper?

 

So you think the 12x48 would cover the entire center console (shifter/stereo part) and the window switches? I was worried 12" wasn't wide enough to do the center console, but it looks like you did the shifter part just fine.

Looks good, I cannot stand all the scratches on mine so this will be in due time.

 

Sorry when I said it stretches i meant that the material is stiff so when it come time to form it and stick it to the back you have to heat it up, then it stretches. It really easy to work with. And no the 12inx48 will not do the entire console you need something with than 12in.

 

It will stretch quite a bit. Obviously, the more you stretch it the more deformed the pattern will be. But you can stretch a fairly good amount while keeping the pattern pretty nice.

 

i tested the durability of the material and it lives it up to it's claim. So i crumpled a small piece of it and then took a heatgun and the material began to flatten out and it retained its original shape!

 

I could prob give you a hand if you need

 

So what's the verdict?
