Got her tinted, ceramic'd and PPF'd, and picked up this morning. Better than factory finish. Here are a few beauty shots.

Im a big fan of the OEM PP wheels, I hope LMR makes an SVE Flow Formed wheel in the 19X10 and 19X11.

I'd like wider wheels as well. These rims do look very nice in person as well.

Beautiful! What all did you get covered in PPF?

Thank you! They did an amazing job with the PPF. Entire bumper (including around every piece of molding), full hood (including all slats on the vent), full fenders, headlights, a-pillars, 1/3 roof, mirrors, door handles, door edges, and fuel door.

Would it be okay to ask ballpark how much the PPF cost and what brand was used? Thanks.

Thank you! I like that mirror-like reflection, between the paint correction and the ceramic. I also had the rims and calipers ceramic'd, which makes that red pop real well. Haven't washed it yet, but should be easy to clean.

I'll hunt down the PPF brand, but it's 14mil ceramic coated PPF (yes, on top of ceramic for the whole car), with a 10-year warranty and free yearly maintenance.

I had everything quoted as a single cost, PPF, ceramic (lifetime warranty) and window tint (including windshield, also lifetime warranty) for $3850 + tax (total was about $4225).

Thanks. Sounds like a great protection package. I have vinyl stripes on my 500 and I’m not sure I want to keep them. My last one with stripes had them painted on and clear coated and the painted looked so much better.

Totally agree, (professionally) painted would be my preference too, but vinyl is undoubtedly cheaper.

I had Xpel on my AMG GTS and it did a great job, but a lot of people didn’t have kind words about it. I bought the GTS with 4000 miles snd never even realized it had PPF at first.

Found the brand...the PPF is Ceramic Pro Kavaca. I'm not sure how it compares to Xpel, but I'll bet others here will have an idea.

What I like about Expel is its self healing in the sun if something hits it enough to cause a ding in just the PPF. Its why I continue to use it
