ordered up a roll of Xpel protector 7ft x 4" wide to do the side of the car. i found some minor kickup chips on the very bottom 3" of the car from when i was running 20mm spacers up front on stock 19's.

i measued 6ft each side and didnt feel like paying $190 for the pre-cut side pieces from autopaintguard.com so got the generic roll for less than $50 shipped. will trim to shape and squeegee on.

Have you put paint protector on before? If so, can you tell me how difficult/easy it is? I've been considering get the pre-cut kit fir the front end.

Yep I do my own clearbra install so putting on a slap of straight clear is very easy.
I think this site still has how to but anyway, the biggest tip of the day is ALWAYS keep your finger tips wet with solution when handling the adhesive side. otherwise you get permanent finger prints on the clearbra.
