Did they remove your door handles when applying Xpel to them or did they cut the Xpel and hide a seam behind it or something?

He cut the xpel and wrapped it and tucked it into the seams as best as he could. I do have to say that he did a good job except maybe the rear driver side door handle where there's a noticeable lip that he didn't tuck in so well. I'll probably point that out to him when I take it back in a couple weeks for the reassessment.

Few mods recently installed yesterday evening. EDM RS style grill, APR Intercooler, Michelin PS4S tires, and the BMS JB4 piggyback engine tune.

How about the Xpel behind the handle on the door panel itself, the cupped in section? If they didn't remove the handles they would have had to cut a slit in the Xpel to get it past the handle.

Are you worried about overheating, the intercooler appears like it will block most of the airflow to the radiator?

Wow! Busy day, Did you do all of the work yourself?
Enjoy your mods.

Default All clean....for now

Looking shiny and clean now after removing many layers of salt and winter road gunk. I'll enjoy my clean baby while it lasts. More snow expected tomorrow and throughout the rest of next week. Sigh...

i honestly didnt pay too close attention but i think he cut a slit in the xpel bc i can see that its wrapped in the cupped area of the door handles and if i look really close i can tell the edges of the film pieces together. So i think he mightve cut slits and/or pieces put together. I dont mind that as much since it's still protecting the paint and no one can really see unless they are specifically looking for it.
