Aftermarket PPF for rocker panel protection?

[voip-ninja]

I'm having PPF done on my new Model Y on Monday and the installer has proposed doing PPF on the doors up to the mid-way point where there is a body contour in order to hide the line of the PPF, and then a PPF "dog leg" on the rear quarter panel to complete the protection against stone chips.

We do get a lot of gravel on roads here in the winter time and my Model 3 had some moderate road rash on the lower rocker area.

Has anyone else had PPF done on the door as described? How noticeable was the transition?

Thanks.

Thanks. Might be worth doing. I thought it was going to go all the way up to the next contour in the door

I bought that kit, but didn't install it, b/c I assumed I wouldn't keep my PY long enough to warrant it, but then trade-in values dropped and I cancelled my order. Now it's winter in ND and I wish I had installed it. I have nowhere warm here to do that.

You don't need PPF on the quarter panel just the rear doors. That said, if it's not a hassle do it. I used a kit off amazon for the door quarter, works well and cheap.

I just did a road trip from LA to PDX and just in that time have similar paint damage. July 2021 MYP. I only just now crossed 7k miles too.

Yeah, I also bought a kit from Amazon. It was a pretty straightforward install but of course it's not perfect when done by me, lol. Thinking that after a year, I'll pull it off and replace it.
