Wrapping an F-Type

Unfortunately inexperienced installers will struggle with this hood. I would call the other shop in your area and ask how many F Types they have done.
Unfortunately if you take the improperly applied film off the hood, he still owes you CQuartz coating on that panel after whoever does the replacement.

My Xpel installer is probably one of the most experienced in the country as he actually launched the product for Xpel. He had never worked on an F-Type and had some bubbling issues on the hood, but asked to keep the car an additional day to resolve the issue, which he did.

I had a pretty good discussion with my installer about how it did it without seams near the A pillars. He said that instead of using the program template to precut the film, he used a bulk sheet, cut it himself, and stretched it. He also said that he had to remove and reinstall the hood vents. He said that it took him longer to do it this way (4 hours total), but he doesn't want the seams on the F-Type hood. I have to say that I agree as that probably would have bothered me. The bottom line is that it can be done. Finding an installer with such experience or willingness is another story. Perhaps I just go lucky.

I think the wrap looks gorgeous. I'm not into the all murder out look, but I think that car does look good. The tail lights might be too much, but would have to see in person. I did my tails to break-up all the red, the red would break up all the black so I probably would change that. Overall, very nicely done.
