Hey Kellzier, thanks so much. Goshan is AWESOME. He did the full hood, full front and rear bumpers, and some smaller patches on my 135.

For future searchers--he doesn't use kits like most people do. He shows up with roll of film and a razor blade. That way he basically does a custom job on every install, super tight around borders, edge wrapping, and generally exactly the coverage you want and where.

If you're hesitant about razor blades anywhere near your car, like I was, don't worry with Goshan. I talked to him about it several times, he showed me how he does it, etc. He also commented that kit installers also use a blade to trim the kits, and that he wouldn't touch the lambos he's done if he had any lack of confidence with proper use of the blade.

He has several years of experience, has been trained by Xpel, and has been great with follow-up tweaks and customer service in general.

No financial interest or affiliation--just want to share the positive experience.
