You are going to want to do a custom install. A pre cut kit on an R is a waste of money IMO. I was referred to Autoskinz in Valencia by a co-worker and I was on the fence about doing a pre-cut or a custom install. After talking to Jake from Autoskinz and looking at some pictures that he had sent...
I'm going to pose a "grey area" scenario...
As a 26 year old Aerospace Engineer who has been working 50 hour+ weeks for the past 2 years, held 3 jobs while earning a bachelors and masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, plus competed on an NCAA rowing team for 6 years in college... I must...
Form the windshield forward, covered in Xpel ultimate. This was a custom install by a local certified Xpel installer. I recommend a custom install so you can't see the edges rather than a pre-cut kit.

Only a week old. Just got it back from the detail shop, I'd say I'm pleased. :D
A member on here told me about a dealer in Montana that had a 17 allocation for MSRP and I jumped on it immediately. Fast forward 3 months and I just picked up my car last week. Since it never went to the MT dealer, I had it courtesy delivered to a dealer near me for $300. Keep an eye on the...
I just got my 2017 at MSRP. I had to search out of state because all of the dealers in CA were a lost cause. I found a lead for a 2017 allocation from this forum and I jumped on it. The dealer I ordered from set up a "courtesy delivery" to a dealer near me for $300, and Ford delivered it with no...
I was in a very similar situation. I had a 2017 electronics pack on order and the dealer I was having my car delivered to got in a 2017 convenience pack with the same exact paint scheme. I decided to wait it out for the car I ordered because it was what I wanted, not what was available. I waited...
I love the spokes and really like the looks of this wheel by itself. But like others have said, I don't think they go well with this car. I think it would work well with a hot hatch, or performance sedan.
Because the stripe is vinyl it would make a noticeable gradient between the stripe and paint. But IMO its not noticeable and is worth it to protect the stripes. Thats why I went with the custom install. :D
There are 3 different ways you can install Xpel Ultimate on our GT350s:
1. Use GT350 full front w/out stripe "kit"
- This kit comes pre-cut to cover the full hood, front bumper, front fenders, and Mirrors for ~$1400
2. Use GT350 full front w/stripe "kit"
- This kit comes pre-cut to...
Same here. Seems like enough protection in the FOD critical areas and for half the cost of wrapping the whole car. Logically this makes the most sense to me. I just covered the entire car with opti-coat after installing xpel, and I don't have to worry about a thing. :D
I'm in the exact same stage as you jamesb1986, except my car was produced on 8/25. FP said I should check with them on Friday to see if it has shipped or not. They also said that they do not receive updates instantly and that the statuses may be delayed. I'm assuming that is what happened with...
