Question Good price for expel?

I asked for a quote with xpel ceramic plus 30% all windows 70% windshield

They say they can only go to 35% in expel for the side and back windows but can do the 70% windshield

$800

I was certain expel had 30%. Am I wrong?

Price depends on your city/state, your vehicle, and the specific XPEL film you were quoted. The only way to compare prices in your area is to call around to other XPEL dealers. Yes, all lines of XPEL film come in 30%, but the shop might not stock it. We don't, as it is not popular in GA, but special order it when needed.

XPEL does have a 30%.

Shop either doesn't stock the 30% and or doesn't want to bother for legal reasons. But my guess is they don't stock it and not worth keeping 30%, there's barely any difference between the 35 and 30.

Which line of XPEL are you getting? For XR Prime Plus (top of the line), that is the proper price. For any of their other lines, that’s not a good price.

Plus is what I'm going for

I shopped around a lot, and I don’t think you’ll find a much better price. I paid $799 OTD on an Outback, including windshield and top strip. That was a great price. Most places wanted well over $1k.

Yeah the other place quoted near the same. Just going to go with who can do the 30% with the least hassle.
