Yo! Sorry kamslm , I just saw this. Yes, I did go with Aegis. They did a solid job. Family run place, great service. The work itself isn't going to be on OCDetailings level but then again, it's a shit ton cheaper lol

I'm satisfied. I got:
- full front ppf
- full ceramic exterior and interior
- tint 50%
- $4,400 [IMG][/IMG]

I've used Detail Maniac for the last 5 years. They have done full PPF/ceramic (inside and out) + tint on 5 of my cars. Best customer service hands down. Worth the drive. I drive 1.5 hours to them from Modesto.

Great. Couple of minor bubbles to fix once I go back for my check in this week. Everything is tucked beautifully. Ceramic was done well. Wheels still covered in brake dust but it slides off. Did 50% tint as well. Very happy with the shop.

No. Car just ported in Oxnard and will take about a week to prep at VDC and dealer. Thinking possibly S-tek now. Not sure when exactly will do the PPF as I want to get the CF side skirts and front lip installed first. but can't wait too long with CA roads!

Thanks Maximus. I just saw your post and answer too and appreciate your thoughts about the quality and cost. Been focused on my delivery which just got to port in Oxnard today. Your M looks great! Thanks for sharing pics.

at that price you can just get the car re-painted a custom color
