    Front bumper softness?

    Is it just me, or is the front bumper on the SQ5 unreasonably soft? I have tons of tiny dimples from what seem to be rock indentions on the front bumper. I obviously should have had XPEL installed a while back, but wouldn't those marks show up on the film?

    Anyone else experiencing this problem? Also I do use my SQ heavily as a daily driver.

    I noticed this on my A4 which is why I didn't hesitate this time around with the Xpel install on my SQ. The Xpel has a self healing property to it so it's fairly durable. I did have some areas on my A4 where the Xpel film was damaged but it took a pretty significant hit to breach the film and the paint underneath was undamaged. It's definitely a good investment if you're concerned with front end paint damage.

    AJ, there's a place in Grapevine that does good work with tint, wraps, and clear-bras.
    They did my windshield and full front clip.
