Honestly, the best place for PPF on these cars is the lower doors and lower rear bumper since that's were all the pebbles and sand will get kicked up by our aggressive tires. |

how long does it take to ppf an entire car? at 6k, the material can't be that much. in fact, someone on the forum is selling some ppf who has a wholesale account and its about 30% of the retail price. assuming material costs 1k, that's 5k to install. at $100 an hour that's 50 hours. That is a lot of $$ and also a lot of time. does it really take that long? if its done in a shorter time then its even more ludacris. having said this, I am trying to find out how much protection I am willing to pay for in addition to the front...

Anyone did ppf after couple of years driving? My detailer was saying there could be bubbling in chipped areas even with polishing and touching up. He said after inspection he may tell for sure.
If I knew , I probably have done it when picked up! Issue it was leased initially , now purchased . Anyone can share their own experience of ppf after 25k driving without. |

Well, I did ppf on the front of the used 2023 I bought back in Nov 2023, the hood and a few areas had some paint chips, but the installer did some touch up paint and then polished them, then placed ppf on top. Is it perfect? No. Can you notice it? Yes, if you get up close, of course. Does it bother me? Not a bit. Is it bubbling? Not right now, but the ppf is 5 months old. The questions for you are: How bad is it? Why ppf now, after 25K miles? If too bad, would it be worth to take to a bodyshop and re-spray, then ppf? Your decisions to make.
