Nice choice, I'm a Pantera fan too! Just wasn't sure if this genre was too much for the forum!! R.I.P. Dimebag

So years ago, I am doing a car show with my Pantera and somebody asks me if I'm a Cowboy from Hell...I said, yeah I guess so? (not knowing about the band until I googled it)

How soon? I expect to hear a lot of "best color/favorite color ever", comments when it shows up.

That's too funny Tomcat!

The vids are commercials between the breaking news. It would be a fun separate thread.

So what is the average price for a full Xpel Ford GT wrap?

I'm guessing pricey, as complex car with lots of angles....

Based off a pattern it's about $7-8k.

That's on par with the old GTs if that includes the underside.

I don't know exactly. All I know is I saw it at the factory it was near completion but that need to dyno test them and water tightness test them.. so it's going to definitely be sometime in June and probably sooner rather than later.

Tomy's white with blue stripe shouldn't be too far behind that. I'm expecting to get mine when I get back from LeMans probably towards the end of June depending on transportation arrangements.

I was quoted $10,000 from the guys that just wrapped Jay Leno's. Extra for the windshield and underside... Thought that was a bit high.

That's definitely high. 918 program it was also $7k for full car. 2 places here that do xPel kit were $7k and $7500 on GT.

Is paint correction necessary/advised prior to PPF? Thanks

I'm having my car done this week, and they told me they would do any necessary paint correction before installing the PPF. I also plan on ceramic after the Xpel installed.

Xpel ultimate is ultra smooth and has a self healing surface. not sure why you would ceramic coat over that? I'd be curious to know if they would even recommended it..

Yes it's a recommended step, over the film. They say reduces potential staining, increases gloss, and hydrophobic qualities, supposedly making it easier to clean. I just cheaped out, and got a "3 year" vs lifetime (c Quartz, or something like that), because my thought was, this car doesn't see rain, washed maybe 2-3 times a year, and I only expect the film to last 8 years. who knows if a bad descision... Time will tell

Does anyone have any info that the Suntek film is more expensive than the xpel film?

Yes, what he said ^
It's an extra $1500, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The roads are so bad in Louisiana. Between the rocks, tar, and potholes, I feel I need all the protection I can get. Only time will tell.

Easier to wash gunk off the ceramic coating.
