2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder – XPEL STEALTH PPF

It’s not every day we have our customers order a car, spec’d to perfection, with immediate plans of changing that car once it arrives. I know it may sound silly but that’s exactly what happened with this 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder, and it came out amazing.

A longtime customer of ours reached out with the exciting news that he had just ordered a new Huracan. Luckily for us, every time he gets something new the first thing on his mind is protection. He knows that all cars should be well taken care of but when it comes to something of this caliber, protection is necessary if you want to retain value. As the conversation progressed, he let us know he had chosen a beautiful metallic grey exterior over a bright green interior with just the right amount of forged carbon trim pieces. This news was great for us of course! He then told us he wanted to do something a little different for this project, he was interested in going with our STEALTH Paint protection film from XPEL. This film would not only offer full vehicle protection to the car, warrantied for 10 years, but it would also change its finish from gloss to satin. He had ordered the car specifically this way because he knew this grey exterior would look fantastic under XPEL’s STEALTH film. We could not have agreed more.

As some of you may already know, certain cars can be ordered in satin or matte finish from the factory. You could then choose to either protect them with STEALTH PPF or not. While this may sound appealing, it’s typically much more expensive than a standard gloss color and can be a nightmare to fix when repainting panels in the case of an accident. For those reasons, our customer trusted us to get the car exactly how he had dreamed of while keeping some money in his pocket and preserving some piece of mind down the road.

The project itself was quite involved, from its initial prep all the way to the final wipe down. Our detailers Garret and Austin went through it meticulously getting it ready for the film to be applied. A great PPF job starts here, the more you can clean and flush out every crack and crevasse the smoother the installation will go. This will not only save time in the long run, it also helps with the more obvious fact that no one wants dirt or debris under their film.

It then switched hands and came over to me to be wrapped. Typical full wraps only stretch a few days but this one took a little longer due to the difficulty of the car and the fact that it was going STEALTH. Here at A Plus we truly pride ourselves on ensuring your vehicle leaves here with the best coverage possible. We look to wrap every edge and corner as much as we can. However, this is especially important when the car is switching its finish to satin. By going the extra mile and taking the time, we do our best to avoid seeing any slivers of the previously glossy paint, giving it a smooth factory finish in the end.

I believe all cars can wear this STEALTH film and look great, but there is almost no disputing that this Lamborghini Huracan is almost meant for it. The car is decorated in sharp body lines from head to toe and those are only accentuated more by this satin finish. As the car was being wrapped you could see them reveal themselves panel by panel. Often, when wrapping a car STEALTH, there is a section of the car that we as installers really look forward to seeing completed, a panel that in some sense or another comes alive from this change in finish. I can with confidence say that for me that was the entire car. Like a good book, I just wanted to keep going. In the end, it left me with a great sense of satisfaction and left the car with an aggressive presence.

Overall, the car came out fantastic, the bright green accents against the smooth grey exterior was really something to see. I try to not pick favorites, but this is up there at the top of my list. The owner was extremely excited to see the finished project and felt as though we had made his vision into reality. He was also now able to fully enjoy his new car and drive it knowing it was ready for anything.
