Here it is.
- Legend matte ppf (much cheaper than Xpel and it’s all about the installer and if he’ll be around after a yr or two to address any issues. PPF comes with 12 yr warranty, installer give lifetime warranty)
- Xpel XR Plus tint all the way around. 25% front, 15% all around including rear lift gate. (Was going to do roof but installer didn’t have right size in 70% so will get that done later
- chrome delete most everywhere (have to figure out rear gate lettering)
- chrome delete below the front bumper and rear bumper
- also my wheels came with 22” brights, I vinyled them gloss black
- Logo gloss black out, I did this myself via Brainexploder

Only thing left is the EV Sportline running boards I just received. Figuring out if I’m going to do that myself or find some.

After that I’m done spending $s on this depreciating asset ?
I really like the way that looks... but I have always been hesitant to do PPF cause eventually it will need to be removed or redone - correct? Assuming you believe it will last 12 years.... do you go to installer before that to redo?

Looking good. Feel like it really brings out the blue. How much cheaper is it then Xpel?

I probably won’t have the car longer than 6-7yrs. He’s had his shop at same spot for 20yrs, so I know where to find him for any issues within that time period.

For the underbody shield, did you have the PPF shop black those out too or was that DIY with a pre-cut adhesive?

They did it. Gloss black vinyl, they used their own material. $200 total

Any additional photos in the afternoon sun? Going to be going with STEK matte PPF and your build is the best example of matte limestone I've seen.
