Shop is highly recommended, Xpel certified, great reviews. Really nice guy that runs the place, and fair price.
However, on picking my car up, and inspecting the work etc, pointing out what few seams there are, I asked about the grill and grill slats. He stated that he does not PPF those on the G80 because the grill slats cannot be made to look good when wrapped in PPF, and will lift etc. This was honestly shocking to me, because at no point in dropping the car off and discussing did that come up.
So I’ll ask everyone else on here that has had PPF done to the front bumper of the G80. Did your grill get PPF and did your installers express any challenge or concerns about the grill?

I have a 22 G82CX and had an Xpel installer put on PPF on the whole front but didn't do whole car, which has the ceramic coating. Their PPF does not adhere well to the black portions of the grill like other black plastic portions of the car i.e. mirrors, the rocker panel, side wing vent, etc. But he told me that he would try it. And he was right it didn't stick, but he did everything else. I have exterior CF package and that was not PPF'd. Xpel does have the patterns for the grill.
