Default Xpel

We do not have a product for windshields.

95% of paint protection films today are 8mils thick. There are only a couple that are less than 8, and those are uncoated. Could you clarify on which part number you need. Is it Ultimate Film for your hood, full front, or something else?

For more information on Ultimate, including a breakdown of the thickness and videos showing it's self-headling capabilities click here.

I just sent you a PM, maybe you can give me a price quote too, for a 2011 370z, how much is the coverage area?

The "-X" next to the number is for our Xtreme film. For Ultimate it's the same number followed by "-U"

Yes, we do. Check out our Stealth Film. Same self-healing properties as the Ultimate but with a matte finish.

We do. When you search on the website it comes up -X but when you place your order, or are at a dealer you can ask for Ultimate. Not a problem at all.
kenchan and 6MT-Z34 like this.
