Thanks. Silverstone interior with carbon trim.
Yes I had some hesitation between red and blue calipers and chrome or black exhaust tips. At the end red calipers and chrome tips convinced me because more visible.

Soooo I picked up my frozen PB M4 exactly 30 days ago. Today when I got it washed, I realized there were a couple flaws already. I’m 100% it was not them. In the front, I scratched the bumper via the garage door closing and it’s a deep scratch. Above the passenger door, I believe it was when I was wiping off bird poop, the microfiber towel I was using must’ve had a rock or something in it and it scratched the paint very finely.

Any suggestions of what I can do to fix?
(Also I’m a newb and don’t know how to add images here)

idk if you did the xpel stealth yet but the matte finish will change the appearance of the car.. our paint is technically satin..

you may not care but it influenced my decision

I have Xpel Stealth on the front of the car + full ceramic and it can't really tell the difference between PPF covered parts and only ceramic.

This is what's being shared about matte films in frozen colors. You have pics of your car?

Here are some photos. I tried to take a couple of pictures with different angles for you.
You can see where is the PPF applied and not.

So your door has no PPF but the front quarter panel does? It's really hard to tell any difference Nice…

Correct. You can see the line where PPF ends. I have full front PPF (from bumper to mirrors).
