    Add supplier before or after full PPF?

    Planning on getting full stealth PPF on my MYLR and adding an aftermarket spoiler. Does anyone know if it's best to add the spoiler before or after the PPF or just give the spoiler to the detail shop to apply as they feel fit?

    Where Do Rock Chips Impact the M3 the Most?

    Hey guys, my M3 got delivered recently and I've been reading all these opinions on PPF ever since. I have a white M3 and I'm worried about PPF discoloration in the future (~5 years) and the fact that it's supposed to be basically taken off at some point (5-10 years) and reapplied (pain in the...

    Gravel road vs PLAID! Bummer

    So my plaid is 5 days old. I was traveling on US 31 in northern Michigan and there was construction. The road turned to gravel for miles!! I couldn't turn around or exit. I went under 20mph and had a huge line of cars behind me. I heard the gravel hitting the fender wells and thought "it'll be...

    Bumper Bully & license plate bumper

    Hi there, I have a MY on order with a delivery sometime in September. I live in NYC so I'm looking into bumper protection. On my current car, I've been using the Bumper Bully. Anyone have thoughts on whether that would work on the MY? My current car doesn't have a fancy auto lift gate so its...

    Some people will tell you that PPF and ceramic coatings are a "waste of money". The truth is its all in what you value. Some people don't really care about the fine details and look of their vehicle and that's OK. They want to run their vehicle through a car wash several times a week. Most...

    Hey there. I have been searching high and low on this site, on Suntek’s site, on plenty of installer’s sites, and just anywhere on the internet for even one good photo of a blue Tesla with Suntek matte PPF and it’s impossible.

    Red M3P, or White + Red PPF?

    What would y'all do? Get the white M3P and put the $2k towards some red paint protection film? Or just get the red M3P and do a clear front + side skirt PPF?

    Good price on PPF + ceramic

    I got a quote from an XPEL authorized installer (Extreme MotorSports in Paramus). For full front and rockers, headlights, plus ceramic coating on my Model 3 they quoted me $4300. She cut a couple hundred off because I am getting everything done at their business. I'm in north NJ. Does this seem...

    PPF in Montreal

    I am expecting to take delivery of my M3 LR in late May. Based on all the research I have done, seems like PPF is highly recommended considering the paint quality on the Teslas. Any recommendations on a reliable place for PPF and Tints in Greater Montreal Area?

    Tesla OEM Rear Door PPF damaged in packaging

    Has anyone had issues with the packaging of the Model Y Rear door PPF causing damage to the film? I’ve gotten 2 films (original, replacement) from Tesla. Both have come with the corner edges being smashed enough to cause some creasing and lifting of the corner of the film. Is this normal? Will...

    Full body wrap PPF rear hatch seam?

    I’ve never considered a full wrap on my previous cars, and my first 3 was the first time ever using PPF (partial). But I’m really digging the way a stealth wrap on MSM looks. I talked to my installer and he warned that the rear is very difficult to do. If I want it in one piece it’s over $6k...
