Just depends on the place, experience and skill of installers, templates or scratch, etc. But also need to have reasonable expectations. Gotta allow 3-5 days if doing ppf, ceramic and tint at once like many do.

A toffee wheel (Google it) is what you need for the adhesive removal.

Yep, these bumpers are no easy feat. The pickup on my PPF job has been delayed twice now. Still waiting to see if I can pick it up tonight or if I’m looking at delay #3.

My guy just texted me and said he’s now redoing the front bumper. The struggle is real.

Dont rush it. It really needs 1-2 days to cure after final application (definitely keep away from rain/water and best to limit or even avoid the driving during cure period).

Oh wow, thank you for the heads up. It’s supposed to rain this weekend, so that’s not exactly great news.

They'll give after care instructions. I believe it's something like 2 weeks b4 washing so avoiding rain in the beginning is a safe bet too.

Chris and Chris are still bitching about our fronts weeks later. I believe the quote was “Yes, they kind of suck”. 😂

Well, they have to redo part of mine. I have to take it back for a half day of nip/tuck. Not sure when I can fit that in just yet.

Does it feel any different? Yes slightly but that's likely a placebo.
That CSL strut tower brace is already discontinued... ?

Summer wheels off
Winter wheels on
Time to drive out
Additionally the Zunsport oil cooler screen was installed. The radiator side screens and main middle screen were already installed by me.

The new Michelin Pilot Alpin 5(PA5) were nice immediately. Felt very very smooth and comfortable. Hope we have a short winter! Will be in and out of Dubai so not all bad.......

Installed rear bumper inserts from Unit 17 Autostyling yesterday, definitely adds some good contrast to the rear end. Think it'll look incredible once I get a carbon fiber diffuser to match! Love the fact that these are a 1 piece design instead of 2 separate carbon fiber pieces.
