Kind of what i figured that everyone was owned by 3M. Where ever they ordered if from last time did not have sheets big enough to cover the hood. XPel did. And they had this gel to apply it that worked well when putting it on such a larger surface.

BMW last week announced a solution for both X5 and X6 Models. It consists of a Mud Flap and 3M Type Solution, think of 911 Rear Arches in the 1980's.

I saw this mud spray pattern on the truck when I was filling it today. Thought is was a good representation of where the 3M needs to be placed.

It would be nice if you could duplicate the driving that caused that pattern with the mudflaps installed.

Good thought for someone to do. I will not be installing mudflaps. I put film on most of the bottom and front of the car. Good enough for me.
