My pillars are already scratched. My plan was to polish them and then apply PPF. Now I thinking about just cover scratches with gloss vinyl and then PPF? This way looks simple for me and I assume it’s possible to be done. Just want to know your professional opinion.
PS If it possible, you can sell the gloss black vinyl and PPF in one package and name it as a “Gloss black restoration and protection kit for BC-pillars” 😉
On a 2nd thought - what about matte PPF? That should hide minor imperfections... do you think it will look bad on the pillars?

Maybe for someone it looks fine, but not for me. MME has many gloss black elements in exterior design. I prefer to keep this even I hate the gloss black scratch vulnerability.

Hey folks

I am Iliya and I am the founder of TWRAPS. We are a California based family ran business and we design, manufacture and sell various accessories and pre-cut kits (PPF, vinyl) for electric vehicles. I recently had the pleasure to rent a Mach-E for a week so we can design some products for it, and I wanted to share them with you.
I am open to any questions, suggestions and product requests.
Here's what I and my wife managed to design for the Mach-E for this one week. I must point out that all of our products are original, and we make them in such a way that every beginner can install them after watching the install video (also on our website). We don't use generic cut templates like everyone else, every single product is designed manually by us.

Also, I am happy to share a 10% discount code with coupon: GASGONE

As I said, I welcome any feedback, questions or suggestions for new products. I also have 7 industrial 3D printers, so I can make plastics products too, and I am soon adding an industrial laser cutter which would expand our production capabilities even more.

Thank you!
Gloss black Bumper Protection Film (PPF) and Front Lip Protection Film (PPF)?? 🤞🏼🤞🏼

(PPF, wet application is preferred.. I tried the vinyl install of the bumper and it was terrible.. )

I just tested this and apparently PPF over vinyl works just fine 👍

Ah that would be nice but I won't be able to do that so soon as I don't yet stock colored PPF. It's on my todo to develop enough products for colored PPF to justify the cost of stocking it though, but not there yet.

Sounds great! Give me the link to the “kit”. Thank you.
I checked and it doesn't make much sense to kit them as it adds more SKUs for me (i.e. more shelves space, more risk etc) but doesn't really save more than a couple of bucks for customers. You can use code GASGONE for 10% off though and just get them separately (i.e. it will just be 2 packages in the same shipment).

I used to make such products but I got served a cease and desist a few months ago and since then I am not making anything related with logos or other trademarked symbols.

Just installed the door edge PPF and door sill protection vinyl today. Pretty easy to do with the help of the YouTube videos. I think it turned out perfectly. Very cool packaging too! Thanks for making these products!

I noticed that its not recommended to install these in cold weather. I live in the NorthEast, does that mean i need to wait for Spring/Summer to install these, because 65-75F is few months away at this point for us.

Are there ways to install in cold weather successfully? What is the concern with installing in cold weather? Adhesion? Does a heat gun help?

Great question! So, the issue with color weather is adhesion & curving... vinyl gets stiffer in the cold, so anything curvy won't comply. Even in warm weather, pros use heat guns for excessive curves (which are present in many parts of every vehicle...well maybe except Volvos 😃). With that said, if what you are installing is mostly flat (you can check the install video) like the mini bumper PPF, I don't anticipate any issues. If it's very curvy, like the headlights, then you'd need a heat gun. To your question about the heat gun - yes, even in cold weather you can install as long as you have a heat gun to warm up the curvy parts that would otherwise not stick or bend.

Yup, that one is on todo! Just need to find one on Turo that has these wheels for my next rental. Just saw them in person yesterday and they look really nice. Also question - the Mach-E I saw yesterday that had these wheels didn't have red calipers...did you powder-coat yours or that's factory colored?
Still looking to do this by chance?

Any plans to create a full front kit for the MachE like you have for the Rivian? That would be great!
