Clear paint protection kit

Just wondering if anyone has purchased one of the clear film kits for the front end of their mini? Specifically, has anyone purchased one from xtremecity on ebay? Just wondering if anyone has what the quality is? I wouldn't expect much due to the ridiculously low price, but I may try it anyway.

You should just get the real thing like I did...especially considering the
time (or price) to install it and the possibility for the paint to peel off
with the clearguard when you want to replace it with a new one.


www.autopaintguard.com Xpel kits are the best (I think. )

Ryan's the guy to talk to.

I just stumbled across their Ebay ad today.

Has anyone actually bought this product? Was it worth it?

I purchased the front bumper clear bra kit from xtemecity on ebay and was very pleased with the quality of the product, DIY instructions and installation. I then purchased from them the material in sheet form and fashioned custom hood, door, fender, headlight bezel, SC intake and rear bumper guards. My son accused me of eventually covering the whole car. Since I plan to keep the car a long time, this product will keep it new looking at a fraction of the cost. Total cost for the all materials including shipping was less than $75.00. The installation was easy, but requires patience and time. Using a hair dryer and keeping everything wet is the secret. Their service was excellent and prompt. I will definately purchase from them again.
