Xpel vs Venture Shield vs Avery nano

h0mersimps0n · 09-25-2011, 12:44 PM

I've used the 3m stuff from clear mask.com in the past but was checking around to see what the latest and greatest is these days for clear protection film.

From the photos and reviews Avery Nano seems to be the easiest installation, most durable, least yellowing and most transparent of all films.

Questions-
1. Anyone install or use any of these themselves?
2. Anyone use Cleardefender.com?
3. What are m-sport owners doing for bumper piece because no one seems to carry cut-outs for m-sport?

So far, we M Sport owners are suffering and waiting. I had my film guy do the hood, mirrors, and lights.... but still waiting for the bumper pattern.

probably do the hood, lights, mirrors myself and have to pay someone to custom cut the lower bumper.

Crazy, it's just some stupid measurement and program it into a printer to cut...

Hi Homer,

The issue is not the difficulty of the design (though it is quite a bit more difficult than you suggest), but rather the lack of a subject vehicle to design the kit from. We have been attempting to find an X3 with M Sport from our local dealer for quite a while, but they never have one in stock for us to pattern from. Sorry for the wait.

I just had the kit for the MSport bumper installed, you can order from www.nochip.ca. This is the only place in North America that currently has the kit.

TIM@XPEL could you please comment about your product vs the Avery Nano films?

My local dealership says they have 3M kit for the msport that they can install- I'm not convinced they know what they are talking about and I'm not leaning toward any 3M products anyway.

The films are very similar with regards to gloss, texture and stain resistance. The main difference is this one property that XPEL film has:
