UPDATE: (PICS) Just got my XPEL Film (Door Cups, Luggage, Door Edge)

I stopped by XPEL this morning and picked up some film for my new G.
I ended up getting the Door Handle Cups, Luggage Protector & a Roll of the Door Edge Guard. I am going to do the install on these myself as it seem fairly easy. When I get the front bumper done I plan on letting them do that install.

I will post some pictures once i put all this on.

----> Scratches & Dings!!!

SCROLL DOWN FOR PICTURES

Well I will post pics soon. I was able to complete the luggage protector and the door edge guards on all 4 door. I was not able to do the door handle cups. They were a PITA. So I am going to have XPEL put them on.

Rear luggage piece is easy to DIY.
Door edge film is easy aswell. Xpel make some great film!!!

I'm very careful with my car and I want it to look like new for as long as possible, so I (only) had the entire front of my car done to protect against rock chips. (the only thing I can't control/avoid)
I would never need to protect other areas of the car from myself though, because I'm always very careful/meticulous

So am I. But accidents happen. And it's better to be protected just in case.
It's better to have it and not need it then wish you would have got it cause something happened.

I was at the groceries store one day and this guy was putting bags in the trunk of his Benz and bam! One of the bags tore and a can fell and hit the rear top bumper.
That's why it's good to have it. You just never know

Thanks for the updates pics! looks like a clean job. Although i think the lines would look a lot more obvious on an OB. But i agree that you're pretty extreme to cover up even the sides and rear haha but whatever makes you happy with your ride man. Good job!
