Ppf

[arod221]

Is there any visual difference between front and full ppf?

not if you use the gloss ppf...you won't be able to tell what's ppc'd and what isn't...that is, assuming your shop does a good job at tucking the seams.

now that there are cars at or on there way to detailers, are they free
Forming the ppf or are templates available for the 5 ?

Got mine scheduled to go in about 2 weeks after my EDD. 20% XPel XR Plus on all windows except windshield with 5% for the visor strip.

Full ceramic coating and Suntek Reaction PPF "Track Package" full front end, rockers and A-pillars.

The shop I used for my ATS-V is permanently closed.....and it's a good thing. The guy did a terrible job and took over a week for just the front end. Using a more reputable shop in Raleigh this time, TVP Auto.

Didn't ask. Most of the stuff they do is free-form anyways.

I just had mine done with LLumar clear bra film yesterday. No template was available, so they created it by hand. Took about three hours total. Did the entire front clip, mirrors and areas in front of and behind the rear fender wells. Cost was $1,750, less a $100 cash discount.

Here is a quote I got from local installer

Full front ppf (Xpel Ultimate Plus) - $1900
Ceramic coating full car including wheels (Feynlab heal light) - $1200
Ceramic Tints (Xpel Prime XR) - $450
Windshield Tint (Xpel Prime XR Plus) - $250

Do these numbers look reasonable? I have never gotten this type of work done on my cars so don't know what to expect. Also, as far as ppf and ceramic coatings go there are so many choices that it's mindboggling. Though I have heard really good things about Xpel.

Yes very similar to mine

My detailer just informed me they’re gonna have another BW in around the same time I plan to drop mine off. Black with CF. That’s all he knows.

I just stopped by my detailer and put a deposit down on my work.
Track Pack PPF (haven’t decided on 8mm or 10mm)
Ceramic Gold (I think 5 layers total, Lifetime warranty)
Prime XR Plus tint
Total is $5400

seems to be on par

Anybody gotten Xpel ppf on their CT4? I dropped mine off at the installer earlier today. He just called me to tell that the regular CT4-V template does not fit the front at all so people from Xpel are coming over to take measurements and create a custom template off my car.

I did Xpel Ultimate Plus on whole CT5-V Blackwing and they did not have a precut for that either ... had to freehand. Turned out great.
