Paint Protection Film (PPF) such as XPEL for Mach-E

[macchiaz-o]

Is that what GT reservation holders will look like when they finally get their cars? ?

Yes just like this, with some small changes: meaner looking wheels, body color trim elements, and the dead bodies glow in the dark.

Haha I misread your message. Yes, we might all be dead before any of them receive their fancy pants cars. If cause of death is globalthermalnuclearwar then at least we can enjoy the thought that we all glow in the dark.

Anyone planning on a cover wrap instead of clear? Maybe something like this one?

Love that but just wont suit my personality I am thinking just the clear protection or may be if I get carried away some stripes not sure

Our 2016 Nissan Leaf, purchased in 2016, came with a cheap PPF stock on the plastic parts. I’m glad it has the PPF but it’s not enough. Here are some pictures from the front

and back

The black spots are rock chips through the PPF and paint, into the black plastic.

This is why I’m definitely planning to get EXPEL Ultimate PPF on my Mach E to cover the entire front, mirrors, wheel lips, and rear bumper panel to protect the painted plastic.

Can see why you’re complaining about that! I’ve had my 3M PPF done at Abe’s in Mokena IL and you hardly can see the “bra” lines and film is invisible.

Can you post a photo of the bra so we can see how the line is invisible, I imagine that there's not a lot to see on a pix???

Picture of the front hood of my 2015 Acura MDX with 72,651 miles on it. Automated car washes and no special treatment.

Actually, you can just barely see it on the second of my two images above:

The panel with the scars is plastic and has PPF. You can barely see it at the edge where the two panels mate.

I am considering XPEL, I got a quote from Accutint for Partial Front Kit: $839 (Tesla model S kit example) and they would subtract $64 for no door handle cups. This seems pretty high to me, $2100 for a full front kit. I need to look around some more, can anyone recommend a shop in the Seattle Tacoma area?

Here in SoCal, I got a full body quote for XPEL ultimate for "around $6K". They said they do not have the patterns yet, so that is just a guess and that the front end coverage would be approx. $2K-2500. I like the idea of the wrap, but that full body coverage seems astronomical.

I checked this morning with a Clear Bra installer and he said it would between 2K to 2.5K as well for the front end coverage. He said he was estimating the cost based on what they charge for similar work on teslas. This includes the rear fender - the luggage damage area as he put it but wanted to see the vehicle first to confirm if its similar to a Tesla.

Wow!! I got a quote for a 3M “bra” on the front of the car at $900 to $1000. This is their newer PPF that is supposed to heal itself.

Yeah looks like need to get a few more quotes. The quote I got was for XPEL ultinate - but I am not sure if the pricing differs based on the PPF brand they use. He said suntek branded PPF might be a bit cheaper. I dont know much about these products anymore than the info I am reading from all the members on this forum.

I got 3 quotes for a full protex/3M, it was all about 5000-6500$can. It should take 2-3 month to get the pattern tho. I want to keep my MME for long time so maybe I’ll pay for it
