smjtri wroteUnderstand. Wow what a great ride you got there!! Dravit is amazing and with those black wheels and Msport/Pro and all the options you got one heck of a machine.M60i. I knew I could have gotten cheaper but I was ordering from ind anyway for the reflectors. I’m happy to support them especially after they helped out with fast shipping.

Most importantly, the wife loves it.Understand. Wow what a great ride you got there!! Dravit is amazing and with those black wheels and Msport/Pro and all the options you got one heck of a machine.
How much ppf you having installed? Enjoy!!
smjtri wroteDef do the rockers. They take a beating with all the debris the 22"s kick up. Strange I did a full vehicle ppf but they didn't do the grills. I would minimize the heat in FL as much as you can w that leather dash. Heat tends to shrink leather a little over time.Thank you! I went a little crazy and spoiled myself with this car.

I’ve been back and forth on ppf and a few weeks ago, I wasn’t going to do it (just do ceramic coating). But I started thinking more about it last week and think I will regret not doing a full front ppf. It’s just too nice of a car to not protect. I plan to have it 4+ years, so want to ensure it’s protected. So the plan is to do a full front ppf (hood, bumper, grill, front fenders, mirrors). Might add the rocker panels but I’m still undecided on that.
2025G0540i wroteYeah they methoned they could do the grill but it’s just the outside part of the grill. Not the individual vertical slats. I actually didn’t realize it until I got the car today that the outside part of the grill is matte. I thought it was gloss for some reason.Def do the rockers.

smjtri wroteOut of curiosity, what should it cost to have just the front of the X5 PPF put on? Not sure what this may go for? thanks..Thank you!

Neo1010 wroteI’m sure others will opine more on this. I was quoted $2600 for full front by a shop that uses XPEL. Another shop that does Lumar was $3k. I’m also in HCOL area in Florida so take that for what it’s worth. I know I could get cheaper but you are paying for the installer not the film. You need someone reputable who knows what they are doing and their prices are typically on the higher end. You get what you pay for.Out of curiosity, what should it cost to have just the front of the X5 PPF put on? Not sure what this may go for? thanks..
