Hi, I am new to this forum so apologies if any of this is an ongoing question. I just got a black MY (after waiting 3 months of course). I was super excited about it for 2 weeks until some broad decided to shoot over 3 lanes on the freeway and smash the side of my car. It’s been in the shop for 3.5 weeks so far. I know what you’re thinking, yes, I am bitter.
I did some research briefly before about the clear bra and just figured I would do that in the front and then do ceramic coating on the remainder of the car. Then I started seeing some matte/satin black cars but some look more grey to me than black but some others look more black. I figured out there is the satin vinyl wrap but I’ve read a lot of reviews about how much it peels and what a nightmare it can be. So I just chalked it up as meh ok not for me, I’ll stick with the clear bra PPF. But THEN I found out that there is Satin PPF! I got a quote for over 5k! Holy moly! And that’s without the ceramic coating on top of it. I guess I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth it? Does the satin PPF make it look more matte? Or kinda grey shiny? Is it necessary to do ceramic coating on it?
If you’re in Orange County CA I am curious how much you paid for it, and where you got it done?
If anyone has a satin PPF (not vinyl) on your black MY I would love to see some
Photos of it and know what your opinion is, if it’s worth it or if its more of a hassle?
Is it worth it to get the top
Of the car tinted? I just want it more for protection against the sun but I’m hearing it’s kind of a waste? Have those of you who have gotten it tinted regret it?
Is it better to smoke or tint your taillights? Any photos on a black MY?
Thanks for everyone’s help with all of this!
