Paint protection - Rockers/Wheel Openings

bmkjabz · 04-06-2016, 06:51 PM

Thanks to all for the advice so far.

First quote for the rockers and small impact area near wheel wells is $600. This seems high even in Canada considering the front bumper, full hood, full front fenders, and mirrors is costing me around $1600 which includes 13% tax.

I am hoping I can find a more competative price for the rockers/wheel wells.

It was recommended not to do a rocker/wwell kit and to get the film custom cut to include the wheel well lips. However due to the initial quote provided.....

I was thinking about purchasing this kit on ebay for about $200 and installing it myself. Xpel P0438J U Ultimate Wheel Opening and Rocker Panel Protection Kit | eBay

Would the kit wrap any of the inside lip?
Am I asking for problems trying to do it myself?

I was also looking at the A-Piller on the car and will get that wrapped. It has a nice area that the film can butt up to towards the roof and should be near invisible.
