It’s still on the Canadian configurator. Props to anyone willing to spend about 10% of the vehicle’s entire cost on the paint job alone!

I'm thinking about getting PPF, but I've never had it on any of my cars before.

Thanks!
Owning a car with PPF on a car- it’s almost a waste. If you damage the car ever so slightly- you damage PPF. Didn’t help save paint on a slight rub next to a plastic marker.

Result is full redo of PPF on the front bumper plus the paint. I think it’s a huge gimmick now…

Yeah, was scratching my head trying to figure out what they were talking about. Especially when they are calling "Storm Bay" Storm Gray.....

Bain on my existence at the moment- had an issue with new PPF. Had to have it looked at on Wed. It was bad so company agreed to fix it. When they removed it- they SCRATCHED the clearcoat so it needs to be repaired. (Turns out it was scratched when they applied it).

Car manufacturers need to make the cars more like the IX grill- healing from the factory and put PPF out of business
