Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

[hurjio]

Can anyone who got PPF comment on how the film is around the side cameras on the front fenders? Is the film tucked nicely under the camera or is there an obvious cutout?

Does anyone have a white car they could post pictures of? I am scheduled to do PPF, ceramic and tint. I saw improvements in colors like red and blue, curious if it's as noticable in white. Thank you!!

Hi @nekef1r , I don't have pics, but popular with the white is the "storm trooper" look...you can easily find that on google or youtube

At least with my vehicle, no obvious cutout. Need to get super close to actually notice anything.

@Epwr These are the only ones I have on my phone at the moment. I can take more later. Done in one piece.

Could you try to recreate that 1st pic shot but from the driver's seat? The 1st pic is to up close for me to judge the gradient difference. Thanks

Hi, i am not taking about thel ook overall, but about how ceramic coating brings out the color in the car. Red and blue I've seen looks so much better after the coating. I wonder if it's the same with white.

 

[hurjio]

No hands-on experience, but I think the effect won't be as dramatic on white (or silver) vs the darker colors. On the other hand, the lighter colors don't look as bad vs the darker colors when the car does get dirty. Also, it's not really the ceramic coating that brings out the color as it is the paint correction/polishing process.

How far along are we on the rebate? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was a change in the way rebates are working now?

@mobilesuit818 seems like the person taking care of this. He posted on 8/30 that he was on vacation and we would have to wait until he got back for any sort of update.

Made an appointment with Doug today for PPF, coating, and tint. First available appointment was the end of this month, so the backlog has cleared quite a bit with the new location.

Looks like he has Suntek CIR (Ceramic) Tint.
How does it compare to PINNACLE or STRATOS nano-ceramic tint?

I can't say as I haven't seen or used those other films. However I've had the Suntek for a few weeks now and it's great. Big difference from stock windows. Obviously. I feel so much less heat and keeps the cabin a lot cooler. I did 30%. Looking back, I would go a little darker and do the 20%.

I wished I had chosen 20% too.

 

[BOBEDIGITL]

@Yimage1 Nothing wrong with the 30%, but it just needs a tad bit more and it would be perfect!

I'm assuming you are talking about sides. What about the back window? 20% too?

 

[BOBEDIGITL]

@nekef1r I would've done 20% all around instead of the 30% that I did. Doug mentioned the auto-dimming mirrors and rear view mirror as the reason almost everyone was going with the 30%. Also, besides being the darkest you can go while still being legal. Glad I went with the windshield too.

Did you tint your sunroof? If so, what %?

Thanks. But in Cali, you cacan tint front side windows or the windshield, so it's illigal ether way.
I might go with 20% based on your suggestions. My only concern is being able to see through the rear view mirror at night with 20% tint.
