Stealth PPF for Midnight - Two Tone or Full Stealth?

[mikeolee]

Hi all! New to the community as I finally took delivery. I settled on a Midnight Gen 2 - 2025 R1S Performance Dual and I'm loving it so far (aside from some issues). Got Stealth PPF but went back and forth on whether to do the whole car or leave the piano black as-is. I'm waiting for service to resolve some fitment issues on the roof & trim, so I have some time to keep it this way and delay the decision to later. I usually hate chrome trim but it seems to tie into the chrome on the wheels pretty well. Thoughts? (Rained yesterday so looking a bit dirty).

BTW, I'm loving the new aero wheels and they look even better in-person. Thanks to @RexRemus & @AO_Pete for their help!

Did you do the stealth PPF on the piano black?

Two-tone! Gloss roof, side pillars, bumper undercarriage, rims and badging and stealth on the body…

Thanks all for sharing beautiful pictures of your rigs.

I am extremely biased towards Midnight Black paint especially in the sun when the metallic pops.

It's stealth PPF. Debated as my compass yellow truck is stealth as well. It was the right decision as they go great together. My wife and I graduated from a University that is yellow and black so seemed fitting.

Loving that pop of yellow! I wish the satin badges had the yellow on the sides. Would have made it perfect.

You can always buy the abstract ocean badges if you want the pop of yellow

I went started with White to El Cap and Limestone then finally settled for Midnight once I saw in person. No regrets and I’m in your club!

Damn, you’re right! I didn’t see it and picked up the all satin. Ugh.

The guys who wrapped my cars suggested a mix of water + rubbing alcohol to get hard grimy areas on a microfiber rag. I haven’t looked into yet but will need to soon. I love the look of black cars but only last a day or two especially with gloss. I’m hoping the ceramic coat will minimize cleaning.

It's hard because first you have to find the vehicle
