Haha I would never. I've had every Iphone thus far. The 6 plus by far the most problematic.

I can host the images on a site and post them fine. It's just easier to click "attach file" while I'm typing up a reply. But it takes my perfectly fine photo and flips it upside down every time lol!

Photobucket to the rescue.

Nice look Johnny!
Is your bumper stained or is it just a reflection?

Nice job JohnnyD!! looks really clean

I also picked up a front spoiler - different style thought - getting it prepped/painted at Auto Explosion down here in So Cal. They've done my front bumper swap on my M35 so I'm going back to them for the work. They called me and said it'll be ready tomorrow afternoon.... will post pix this weekend.

It had to be done in 2 stages. Bumper first then i had to let it dry for 2 days.

After 2 days it was ok to install the lip and they applied the clear bra to the lip while on the car.

The lip seemed to be a bit harder for them. since i'm seeing a little bit of
lifting or some ripples in the edge near the bottom. I'm planning to bring it up when i come in for the 2 week touch up.

Looks amazing! Turned out great. Hmm I just realized my frieshly installed lip will have to be pulled off in order to apply xpel. So the mounting tape will have to be cleaned off and replaced I'm assuming.

Yep! it will have to be removed.. But the tape should come off easily with warm weather or with help of a heat gun. Any residue left over you can use alcohol.
I think it's possible to do it the whole thing as one but it's probably best to do them seperately.

I know before they install the clear bra they will prep with clay bar and alcohol to remove any wax.
