Wrap VS PPF in GTA

[defsam]

Hello fellow Canadian Tesla Enthusiasts,

Just curious, I spoke with a wrapping store and they said if you live in GTA, It's better to go for a wrap than a PPF since wrap will still protect the car and its way cheaper than PPF in addition to having a multitude of colors to choose from.

anyone have any experience that can support this claim? Guy is giving me 1997 for a full color change wrap of a model 3.

Every reply is much appreciated!

I am dubious of this claim. The wrap is intended to be a color swap, not a protective layer. It might handle a scuff, but I think it’s more likely to tear.

I do have an Xpel PPF covering my entire car, and it’s taken a LOT of damage so my paint wouldn’t have to. Plus, the PPF melds together for small marks and I don’t think a wrap can do that.

That's what I am thinking, PPF is expensive for a reason but his offer for below 2k wrap of any color choice is really tempting. I have the pearl multicoat so I am wondering how badly would I need PPF in toronto/ GTA

How much did the full PPF cost you?

The only concerned that I have with the wrap is for example after 2 years from now you got into accident and they have to replace or paint the affected area, the wrap color will not much anymore due to fading. The insurance will pay only for the affected area... I doubt they will pay to re-wrap the whole car. My Y is going for a full PPF next week. it's expensive but worth it..

Sure. I'm getting Xpel Ultimate Plus at Speed Project Lab.. They're keeping the car for 4 days. The place is highly recommended by other Tesla owner. I'll find out soon enough...

Was 4 years ago. I think it was $6k all in. That’s a full Xpel wrap on a Model X with ceramic coating on top of that.

6k... though. hmm

I'm kinda leaning more towards PPF now. I just have to deal with the price in my head. This is my bumper driving from Vaughan to Oshawa via 407 lol BUGS EVERYWHERE!

Lol I was actually asking defsam where the quoted wrapper was $1,997

ooo ugly bugs

so can you share the contact info for the wrapper you found? Wanna wrap it in a light shade of blue

Bear in mind that the price is for where I am, and EVERYTHING is a little more pricey here than the usual elsewhere in Canada.

Also, my memory is shoddy so take that figure with a grain of salt the size of PEI.

Definitely get a local quote.

We can help - Ceramic Pro Markham.

Picking up my MYP this Friday was just cruising this thread and you aren't wrong. We need this in the GTA. We finance it 0% for 12 months so the price is easier to get around. Only for Tesla Motors Club members

Hi Hamza,

How does your financing model works?

btw, congrats on MYP!

We use partnered lenders just like Tesla. If you send me a DM, I will send you a price list and collect your email. Once I do that and you fill out the credit app. They will approve you (most likely) on the spot for any service. It's an open-ended loan so you can pay it off in 3 months or take the full 12 months which I suggest so you maximize your monthly cash flow.
