Nevada-based XPEL Technologies Corp. ("XPEL") announced today approval by the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. ("CNQ") for listing and trading of its common equity shares under the symbol "XPEL.U." Trading is scheduled to commence on Friday, October 22, 2004.

W. R. Brunner, XPEL's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We want to thank our shareholders for their patience during this approval and listing period, and for their continued support in helping us build a world-class automotive aftermarket products company." Mr. Brunner further stated, "We believe we are postured to experience rapidly increasing market penetration and corresponding growth with our product sets.

Addressing the Company's listing approval, Craig K. Clement, XPEL's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "The CNQ is an alternative to traditional types of exchanges, where more often than not, high costs and elevated capitalization requirements are barriers to trading a smaller company's equity. The CNQ is an efficient stock exchange with an extremely high standard of disclosure and integrity. Corporate visibility offered through the CNQ 'Disclosure Hall' makes providing required disclosure to our shareholders much quicker, extremely efficient, and certainly more cost-effective. In addition, the exchange is fully automated, offering investors immediate execution of trades for improved liquidity. Overall, the CNQ is just a great fit for XPEL."
