A local shop will do $800+tax and would cover the full front bumper, partial hood & fenders, and the side mirrors.
I asked for the full hood and it went from $800 to $1,500.. Seems like a HUGE jump just to do the rest of the hood.

What has everyone else paid and for how much coverage?

I’m in Central NJ and got quoted $1700 for Full Hood, L/R fenders, Full Front Bumper and Side mirrors. They throw in front lights and fogs along with center console (Vinyl or PPF). This is for Suntek Ultra.

I got a quote for $1750 for Xpel Ultimate Plus for the same but center console is just PPF.

Decided to go with Suntek Ultra because it’s slightly more glossier/clear along with hydrophobic (water repellent) properties. Xpel is probably the more durable product but I wanted a true clear product.

I paid about $1500 for the second option you described (full hood, bumper, etc.). Seemed to be about the going rate in my area of WA. It was suntek ppf.

In Austin I was quoted $1900 but “special” price for $1625. They did a great job and detailed the car before I got it back.

I'm doing a full stealth Xpel wrap plus ceramic coating for $7k on Long Island, NY for my new Model Y Performance. They also do a paint correction prior to applying the wrap. Comes with a 10-year warranty.

Hey West Richland buddy. I’m in the tri cities too, who did you use? I paid about $2300 for the full front end, rockers, A-pillar all the way back to the trunk, and windshield and side windows tinted with Xpel.

Hi @jayely1 - yes, this is normal when you go from partial hood to full hood coverage. It's mainly due to the amount of PPF extra they'd have to use.

I got mine done for partial hood, full front & full fender, side mirrors for $475 (local detailer also). It would've been $1,500 if i wanted full hood. that's the norm prices you'll find these days for full frontal (full frontal being full hood coverage)

Did anyone have to sign a paint damage waiver? Had a shop tell me that bc of tesla paint.

Also wondering if anyone has actually removed ppf from a tesla when you have to replace it 5-10 years. I know they require a waiver when removing it. Seems pointless if the thing it is protecting get ripped off the car.

I would find a different installer.

Is there an additional cost for PPF upkeep over the years? Also, do people get it removed before selling, and is there a cost for that?

I used Quality Window Tint in Kennewick. I also had them tint my front two windows and my windshield.
