My cyber orange MME GTPE is due for delivery next month. I plan to have traditional black racing stripes applied down the middle of the vehicle. I also want to have the car entirely wrapped in PPF. How does it work when you combine PPF and stripes? Is the PPF applied over the stripes, or vice versa? Has anyone tried this, and if so, how did it go?

I don't have center stripes (just side ones) but do have PPF and ceramic coating. In my research (and backed up by my PPF installer), it would be PPF first (installer should ensure surface is properly cleaned and prepared), then stripes (if needed to be repaired or removed, then the PPF is not disturbed) and finally your protective coating of choice (wax, ceramic). I went with ceramic and have been very pleased so far. Good luck!!

On my GTPE, they applied the PPF first, then applied the stripes on top of the PPF. I had them put a coat of ceramic over everything. NOTE: I only wrapped the front, the front fenders, hood, mirror caps and bottom rocker panels. I removed the side badging myself, before bringing the car in for PPF.

Nice look! Could you please post some more pictures from the front and back?

Note that the first shots were from a professional camera, the ones below are from an iPhone (imperfect color-balance).
