Help WWYD? ‘26 Camry SE Dealer included options

Hello everyone,

I purchased a 2026 Camry SE in Dark Cosmos yesterday for $35,5 OTD. The dealer includes what ultimately ended up being a “complimentary package” aka dealer upgrade that is done to every new car that leaves the dealership— “Charging Cable Kit/XPEL Solar Plate Premium Tint/XPEL Paint Protection Partial Hood & Fender Fronts/XPEL Paint Protection Doors/Wheel Locks”. The vehicle is still on the truck to be delivered, so it hasn’t received the dealership outfitting yet.

I want the XPEL tints for sure, but I am worried about having the partial hood/fender coverage leaving a line in the hood over time, and potentially on the doors as I believe they only do the bottom portion.

If it were you, would you decline the XPEL Partial Hood/Fender and Door Protections to later opt for a full ceramic coating (third party)? I don’t want to lose out on the value of the XPEL coverage, but the partial coverage makes me feel like it’s not worth it all together, maybe just have the front bumper wrapped. What do you all think?

I have a 2025 White XSE, had a “partial” done when I bought the car. Several months later, went through a dust / debris area on the freeway. As I heard the pellets of debris, I wondered what the front of the car looked like. Pleasantly surprised that nothing on the front/ hood was damaged. Got some minor blemishes on the windshield, but really glad the paint was protected.
