Now, the same costs over $6,000.

Also, PPF does not stop bugs from splattering the radiator or other intakes that are nearly impossible to clean. Again, using a bug bra or screen for long highway trips.

I also prefer how I am able to get my paint to look without PPF.
You may want to shop around, $6k for full front sounds ridiculous. I've been quoted $6k for XPEL by my local shop for the entire car. $1500 for partial (half hood) front and $2k for full front.
