I just picked up my MME this week and I'm looking into some of the PPF options. I've gotten a few prices for the full front coverage (bumper, hood, mirrors, pillars, etc) - the whole front - and its just a bit more than I'm looking to spend right now.. I got the car earlier than expected, since I found one on the lot, and I have to spend to put in a L2 charger first.. priorities!
Anyway, one of the shops mentioned there is a partial hood kit.. It covers the edge of the hood, corner of the fenders and mirrors... The price is much more manageable. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this kit before (Its still Xpel Ultimate Plus) and whether its still working getting just those areas and not the bumper.
I'm coming from an SUV which had the aerodynamics of a brick - a Dodge Durango, and the edge of my hood was chipped up alot, but the bumper really didn't have anything. I'm guessing the plastic is more forgiving than metal when a rock hits it. I also do my own car detailing; I plan on ceramic coating it myself and I'm out there just about every weekend from spring to fall washing and detailing my car.. I just don't want to have to keep fixing spots with touch-up paint like I have the last 3 years.
For those of you who've got a few thousand miles on their MME's already, are there spots that take more abuse than others? Is getting even the partial hood, without the bumper worth it? I do plan on getting a vinyl wrap/grill at some point also, so its really just the bumper area under the lights that might take some abuse....
