it will hold fine if they did it right.. i would not recommend anyone using betalink unless you never plan on removing that item again.

hybrid_eg. X looks great. Where's your spoiler?
03-23-2021
The answer is on page 2, i'll either put stock spoiler back on or CF version.. waiting on some forums members to test the fitment quality of what appears to be M-perf CF replica?

These wrapped cars look SICK. Wish I would've considered it. A major concern I had regarding "matte-finish" looks was increased maintenance of cleaning. Does the Xpel stealth not require much more maintenance since it's an actual wrap/covering on the base paint?

stealth ppf is easier to maintain than matte/frozen paint

The side trim on the X6M is so much more attractive than X5M.

I have a X5MC and I wholeheartedly agree! Its my favorite design element of the X6M.

Would be nice to have a thread of wrapped X5 and X6's.

This isnt mine but thought its a nice one. I just ordered an x6m competition and am thinking to wrap it.

Here is mine

I disagree. I like the extra Z-axis depth of the F95 trim. Wouldn't it be nice if the fender trims were interchangeable F95 <-> F96?

That would be awesome and it would let us customize to our taste.

Had to go bold and bright. Color matched to BMW Fire Orange. Autoflex liquid spray wrap.

Wow :drool:

Aside from the painted radiator bars it looks perfect. Good call on keeping the roof spoiler body color as well. :thumbsup:

Very easy maintenance as everyone mentioned.
Def worth the $
Beautiful. Can you post a pic with the door open? Always curious how the OEM door sill colors look with a contrasting wrap.

How do you do the cross bars inside?

SunTek Ultramatte PPF over Tanzanite Blue II. We didn’t do the jams, but I don’t think it’s sticks out terribly.

Any real known difference between the Suntek and Xpel Stealth? I have Chalk Gray individual from factory and absolutely love it but in another 1.5 years I need to make the decision of keeping the lease or letting her go. If I keep, I'm seriously considering doing the stealth for a visual change.

Also, did your installer remove lights/emblems/handles etc when installing? I've never had PPF done before but I see so many different installation practices.

Thanks

I’m not sure what the difference is. I have the traditional Xpel on the M2 CQuartz ceramic. But both cars are babied and don’t go on gravel roads. Seems like both brands are legit.

As far as what they took off? I have no idea. I think a lot because they had it for a while. And I got the impression it was a big job too. Wasn’t cheap either, but so worth it. For me anyways, cars are my hobby. The shop in vegas that did all of the cars I’ve had is named The Specialist Detail Studio. I just told them what I want and they do the rest. They used Modesta ceramic on this one.

Yeah man. Going stealth would be a good look and not have a drastic shock of a color change with the hood or doors open. Or even a wrap that’s a similar but different enough color to be a nice change. Although, I’m not sure if wrap material is as protective (thiiiiiuck) as PPF stuff. And if you go stealth and a big panel is damaged, just take it all off and it’s brand new again.

Slight thread tangent, has anyone had their interior trim wrapped?
I have the Aluminium Crossline trim, and I hate it, and thankfully, so does the wife!
I was thinking of going with a dark brushed metallic as a replacement, just hoped someone else had done it as well!
