Yes - it’s applied at the factory on both gear guard doors and the lower rear part of each front fender (right by the vents). I had PPF installed on entire front clip of my R1T and had them remove all of the factory-applied stuff so that my installer could do a better job of wrapping the edges to help prevent peeling in the future.

There's PPF on the lower part of the doors too
Guess I need to submit a service request ‘cause mine didn’t come with any PPF on the doors. ??‍♂

Yes gear tunnel doors have PPF applied by an amateur and poorly hand cut. On my truck they dug the razor right into the paint to cut the PPF and it's full of debris underneath. There is also a patch of PPF right behind the front fender/wheel area where the little aero gap is in the trim (below the A pillar down near the rocker panel).

Not sure why they didn't have plotter/computer cut pieces of PPF made, it's super simple.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it can be fixed

Yeah PPF is easy to replace but the razor cuts not so much. I’ll just buff it as best I can and wrap the PPF around the edges so it covers the cuts. Not worth repaint but amateur/rushed install.
