It hit so hard, it left a brown streak in the PPF, but nothing happened to the PPF. It didn't peel it back, it didn't nick it, nothing.
And 300 miles over, on the break in...  BMW isn't a fan of you overshooting the break in period, but oh well. |
My PPF guy said some clients don't like this film because it can be noticeable when driving and creates distortions for some. Could you please share your experience? Obviously it's done you good from a protection standpoint... Curious if you have any downside feedback |
There is some slight glue distortion. My friend got in the car and we went like 5 miles and he noticed it right away. But he's like a 20 on the OCD scale. I'm pretty bad, but I would say that it's about 98% optically clear.
The imperfections are random in every installation, so there is nothing in particular to point out. The glue sticks the sheet to the windshield is the distortion, apparently. But it's nothing that I even see anymore. It really comes down to how good the installer is.
I would find someone that has it if it's concerning to you. It's been completely worth it, for me, especially since I took that moon boulder to the windshield. There is no doubt in my mind, that if I didn't have it, the windshield would be trash.
But for me, it's not something I even get in the car, and notice anymore. I'm slightly far sighted, and I'll be 50 in a few years, so maybe that helps. I don't wear glasses on a daily basis and it's not bad enough to have to wear them while driving.
For me, the protection far outweighs any issues from getting it installed. The only time I even remember it's there, is when something hits it and I say "Thank you STek."
