    Vendor sources change constantly. You'll have to try Google. Use the shopping tab in Google. Put "plasticolor" in quotes.

    I wish I would of wrapped mine when I first got it, but too late now. I had my WRX done and it was awesome no rock chips!! With the constant construction here in Dallas it paid for itself. I had the Llumar sealf healing and it was nice.

    Went with XPEL after looking into other films. Had the entire front end and A-pillar done along with door cups. Expensive but worth it to me. Very happy with it so far (about 8mos) and cleans up easily. I regretted not putting it on the wife's car years ago, it made the decision to put it on my new truck an easy one

    There's almost no highway that isn't under construction....gravel trucks everywhere!! My buddy went with the hood deflector option to save money and totally regrets it now.

    I have the film that came from the factory on my hood, hood scoop and side mirrors. I was actually thinking of getting rid of it because I bought the truck used and it has hard water spots on it and I didn't notice that the film was on there believe it or not oh, my eyes aren't what they used to be, but I had a real heck of a time getting them off and it still is not perfect. Any suggestions?
