Went to make an appointment to have the 3M x-pel clear paint protection applied to my 2014 SFS. The shop told me the pattern for the 2014 is not available yet, but the 2013 pattern is. Does anyone know if there are any changes in the front end between the '13 and '14 models?? I thought they were the same...

Body changes

There is no difference between the 2013 and 2014 Santa Fe front design.

Thanks kev4. I actually called X-pel and was told the same thing. They updated their website accordingly.

Now...off to make another appointment!

How did it go for you Cobi? My wife and I just bought a 2014 SFS and want to get the clear bra put on.

nick,
It went great. The new software for the 2014's (no different then the 2013's) was made available and the results are outstanding.

What areas did you have done? How does it look now that it has been a few months?

The areas done:

• Leading edge of the hood, about 12" up.
• The entire front bumper.
• The leading edge of each front fender (ties into the piece on the hood).
• The headlights.
• The backs of the mirrors (they cut around the marker lights).
• The rear bumper ledge.

It's only been on for about six weeks, still looks brand new. I have the same product on my Thunderbird, it was installed six years ago and it is just starting to fade. Of course that one is not a daily driver.

I believe it's a worth while investment.

How much did it cost? Where did you get it done? Any pic of the rear bumper?
