X-PEL EVO X review

Thought I would throw out a review in case anyone is interested. I have a GSX with newly added aero kit. Had the bumper, bikini hood, rear door and rocker arms. I hired an installer that also does BMWs and Infinitis. Instead of using the kit for the rear door problem area I got them to custom make this part to also cover the edge of the fender where it meets the rear door. I went with the Bikini hood cut because the installer said the larger (whole hood and fender) never looks good because of bubbles etc.

Whole thing cost ~1100 installed but I think is worth I will post pictures tommorrow but I have had to point it out to everyone so far for them to see it.

So basically with an experienced installer.

Some pictures with phone. I will try and take better ones later. I had to TRY and find an angle where you could actully see the edges otherwise the pictures would have looked like there was nothing there.

Very nice... Keep it clean, I've seen some fade when not properly taken care of, nothing a regular car wash would clean!

Can you take a picture of the whole car so we can see how it looks in context.

As soon as it stops raining (been raining for 5 days in a row, I swear I saw an old guy building a boat and rounding up animals) I will take a bunch of pictures outside. I am trying to let it dry and "suck up" to the car.

Honestly it is going to be hard to take ones that show the material (which is good).
