Xpel Stealth PPF on Model X

jbean415 | 2026-01-31 22:35 | 41 views

I have wanted a model x for as long as I can remember, so I finally ordered the plaid to make sure I could have one before they are discontinued. I’m not too worried about it being discontinued, there is no car like it, and I haven’t found any other car as appealing. I ordered it in the standard gray color. I have never had PPF on a car before and I i’m curious if others have had the xpel stealth PPF and what their experience is with it. I think the satin finish look is cool but I have never seen it on the gray in person. Only black. So if anyone has any pictures of theirs, reasons they like it, or did not like it, I would be curious to hear it all. Is there anything I should consider before picking an installer to do it, what to look out for, etc. I am in the SF Bay Area. Thanks in advance.

Following. Just ordered an X AWD in Diamond Black, also wondering about PPF and tint.

I love mine. Model 3 performance in grey. https://imgur.com/a/EFBcULt This photo was when it was new, and its been on the car for 6 years now and has held up beautifully. Couple nicks here and there, a few small edges have peeled up ever so slightly, but I would say it still looks very fresh. Even protected the paint when the rear fender got dented. Highly recommend!

I had [Xpel Stealth installed by OCDetaling](https://i.imgur.com/DfwV9lf.jpeg) in the Bay Area back in 2020 and it has been great! It’s had 2 panels replaced because a big door ding and hail damage. But no repainting had to be done! It was expensive, back then $7k. But it gave the car a different look and protection.

Why on earth would you buy a new car that they are ending production on?

Because you have wanted one for as long as you can remember, and if you didn't but once now, they are going to be discontinued.

That looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

And when resell value about to tank...my model x will go for sale soon. I bought a R1T at the end of 2025 not knowing about the discontinuation but now glad I didn't hesitate.

Do it. I’m in my second x-pel stealth-wrapped X. Stealth Grey color goes from worst to best with stealth wrap. https://x.com/net_pop/status/2016941124603301983?s=46

Yea that looks badass. Yea, seems like a no brainer looking at that picture. Thanks for sharing it

What % is your tint?

I had xpel stealth on my MXP installed by Auto Pro Detailing in Fremont around Christmas time for ~$5k. Wanted to go to OCDetailing but their quote was $10k. Could not recommend the xpel stealth wrap more. Makes the car look even better.

to get that wrap effect, do you need to start out with a stealth grey paint color? eg if I had a red tesla, could I still wrap it to show likes yours?

I wrapped my red Model Y in stealth, this is what it looks like https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/hrxeZH3gTa

for tint get llumar

I expect it to appreciate in value. We're less than one year away from everyone in America learning that Tesla is the only car that completely drive itself, and for Americans to learn how awesome that is. Sales will increase dramatically, and many will learn that the Model Y just isn't big enough for their needs. HW4 Model X's are going to be hot commodities.

I must be driving a different Model X cause its a long way from making me think it's anywhere close to driving itself.

BaxBaxPop 2026-02-06 00:42

You have HW4? Literally 99% of the miles I have on my Model Y are FSD. Never had a safety intervention. Highway, suburbs and NYC

chopoffmyleg 2026-02-06 00:45

Yes, 2024 HW4.

BaxBaxPop 2026-02-06 01:32

14.2.2? Where do you live that it's functioning worse than midtown Manhattan? Zero interventions in Manhattan except for parking (keeps thinking bus stops are open parking spots...)

The stealth just makes the underlying color matte.
