    I'd rather buy an less featured Tundra at the prices they hit. Tacos are awesome if you hit trails but I'd get a 4runner first.

    If you don't mind me asking, what did that Xpel, PPF, and Ceramic coating cost, and how long will it last? Thanks.

    Just under 10k to have the entire car wrapped, the 8 year xpel ceramic coating, xpel ceramic tint on every window and windshield, and I had the xpel exoshield put on the outside of the windshield since the gx550 have a cracking issue and it’s 18-24 months to get one from lexus.

    it’s a pile of money but well worth it if you like keeping vehicles clean and rock chip free. My Cummins is 20 years old, paint looks brand new. Has been wrapped and ceramic coated for 10 years and looks amazing.

    Thanks. That is a chunk that I don't think I can absorb any time soon. But, from your picture, the vehicles look really good! Thanks.

    It was so much cause I had the entire car wrapped. Most people do the fronts. That will cover the hood, headlights, fenders and mirrors. That’s around 1500 bucks and totally worth it. The 8 yr ceramic coating is around another 1500. So for 3k you would be more then covered for most rock chips and hits.

    Got you. That is a little bit better. Will have to look and see who I have around me that can do that. Will have to be a while though. Thanks.

    Just make sure they are an xpel authorized dealer. I used Extreme Auto spa in Greenville SC. They are the top rated dealer in the state. Was pretty clear when I got a walk through of the facility. Cleaner then most operating rooms haha. Couple lambos and a bunch of bwm performance center cars there being wrapped and detailed. Anyone in NC-SC-GA I highly recommend those guys.
