FR500GT,
I'm interested in doing the front end of my newly resprayed Pantera when I get it back in the next few days in one of the products on the market, and I'd be interested in knowing about the ones that you represent. Since the wedge shaped "nose" is only inches from the ground (the whole car is only about 40" high), I want to protect the paint. PM me some information, and maybe I'll take a ride down from Los Angeles and take a look.
Thanks,
Ted

Oh come on Lance, a "street legal" McLaren P1 GTR isn't an exception for paddles?!?

If there is a fire nearby with the car there, the dept. most likely will bust thru both front windows to get the hose to the hydrant.
Now...that's what I call "feeling entitled".
I've seen a firetruck just push a car out of the way.
That's the U.S./Australia border running down the center of the street.

XPEL Ultimate Plus PPF Installed
This of course was installed at the company I work for: https://protectivefilmsolutions.com
The high impact area for clear bras on our cars is technically the full nose; front bumper, hood, fenders, headlights and mirrors but I decided to leave the fenders and hood alone. Reason for this is that we are coating the full car with a new Ceramic Coating that is coming to the market soon and the hood and fenders show off the hydrophobic effect the best. The PPF seams are all hidden and tucked so its hard to really see it installed on the car but it's there!

I might attempt the VAP valvetronic exhaust if anyone is interested in my OEM V8 R quad exhaust:

Feel free to PM me! Since I’m not a vendor on here, I don’t want to overstep any boundaries.

No need for a PM as I am in North Carolina & was only trying to understand what was typical pricing for such a service. No issue if you don't feel comfortable publicizing such guidance. I think we paid around $600 for our Lexus GX 470 many years back so perhaps that is a similar range for the same service on this Jag

Glanz Ceramic Coated
We finally had the time last month to ceramic coat the whole car with Glanz Ceramic. The top hydrophobic layer is awesome and has been keeping my car a breeze to maintain for shows, events, etc. I still need to pull the wheels off and have them coated as well as the calipers and hubs but I just haven't had the time!
I also had the GT Carbon rear diffuser and wing pulled off and professionally painted Gloss Black to match the rest of the car:
